Abstract
An extensive floristic survey was done to annotate Phyllanthus of southwestern Bangladesh from 2015 to 2018. In total, 2189 individuals of Phyllanthus were counted and identified as eight different species (five herbs, two trees and a shrub). All species were examined following both morphological and anatomical methods, based on taxonomic notes. The listed species were Phyllanthus acidus, Phyllanthus amarus, Phyllanthus debilis, Phyllanthus emblica, Phyllanthus niruri, Phyllanthus urinaria, Phyllanthus reticulatus and Phyllanthus virgatus. Among them, Phyllanthus amarus and Phyllanthus debilis were listed for the first time from Bangladesh during this study period.
