Uzbekistan vascular plant novelties 1993 through 2023

This study aimed to determine the number of taxa that will be discovered in Uzbekistan from 1993 to 2023. As a result of the analysis of various scientific journals, monographs, and flora books from 1993 to 2023, it was found that 114 new vascular plant taxa were described for Uzbekistan during this period: 1 new genus, 80 new species, 28 new combinations, 2 new subspecies, 4 new names, and 1 new variety. The process of discovering new vascular plants in Uzbekistan will continue in coming years. In the process of preparing a new national flora of Uzbekistan, it is very important to study the composition of the national flora and conduct taxonomic research. Major work is being carried out in this regard, especially over the next 10 years. Sometimes, newly discovered taxa by scientists are cited in local scientific journals or monographs. This creates difficulties in disclosing these taxa to the global scientific community. From these results, it can be concluded that if newly discovered taxa are regularly included in scientific databases (such as IPNI), it will be easier for the world community to determine the floristic composition of individual countries or specific geographical regions.
