| description | Categorization of living things in a particular area is helpful to know their hypothetical relationships, similarities, dissimilarities, and present status of a particular species. The present study focused on a comprehensive taxonomic survey of the present floral arrangement in the semi-natural area of the Uttara region from August 2021 to October 2022. Basic methodological approaches and field surveys were employed to elucidate the floral diversity of the Uttara region, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The findings revealed a total of 225 plant species including, seasonal plants in the study area. These species were categorized into 119 families, with 39.11% of the species belonging to 43 families and the remaining 60.89% belonging to 76 different families. Among all families, Fabaceae is the largest family having 7% of the species. The rest of the plant families occupied 44% of species is the minor family having one species each. The recorded species were represented by trees (28.0 %), shrubs (16.0 %), herbs (43.55 %), and climbers (12.40 %). The plant species found in the study area were categorized into several functional groups. The entire population of plant communities was 225 including seasonal species, which were divided into 203 genera, 119 families, and 126, 46, 17, 15, 29, 10, and 14 plant species classified as ornamental, fruit, vegetable, spice, medicinal, timber, and plantation crop, respectively. To enhance the floral diversity and ecological balance of the area, it is necessary to implement sustainable management practices, public awareness, and participation in plant conservation activities, and should introduce sustainable native plant species. This study could be useful to plant taxonomists, plant ecologists, or naturalists for conducting region-specific surveys on the present status of species, or even flora and fauna.
