Abstract

Taxonomic investigation on the family Fabaceae (weeds) growing throughout the Rajshahi University campus was carried out. A total of 10 species under 8 genera of the family Fabaceae were collected and recorded for their use in various ailments. A complete taxonomic account of each species has been given along with their scientific name, local name, habit, habitat, flower color, flowering season, population, uses and specimens examined. Out of the total number of species Alysicarpus vaginalis DC., Clitoria ternatea L., Desmodium triflorum (L.) DC., Desmodium gangeticum (L.) DC., Vicia sativa L., Vicia hirsuta L., Sesbania bispinosa Jacq. were frequent and Melilotus indica L., Abrus precatorius L. and Uraria picta Desv. were rare species in the study area.
