The research work was carried out with eleven important and rare plant species of Crescentia cujete, Saraca asoca, Careya arborea, Ficus cunia, Oroxylum indicum, Nephelium lappaceum, Cassia alata, Schleichera oleosa, Sterculia villosa, Pterospermum acerifolium and Brownea coccinea in the Botanical Garden, Department of Crop Botany, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. Trees are mostly used for timber purposes, but in the present article the utility of tree with respect to their importance in restoring, reclaiming and rejuvenating denuded and disturbed soil, their ecological, eco-development and environment use, and their educational and recreational value in gardening, landscaping and bio-ethetic planning is described. In addition, the importance of tree is discussed with reference to their value as a source of sustenance food, sugars, starches, spices and condiments, beverages, furniture, fatty oils and vegetable fats, wax substitutes, vegetable ivory, fodder, fuel bioenergy or biofuel, fertilizers, fiber, pulp and paper, tannins, dyes, rubber and other latex products, gums resins and cork, lastly, the food plants of mulberry and non-mulberry silk worms, which feed on the leaves of many forest trees, are mentioned. The combination of these data and methods can be useful for conservation planning and long-term monitoring, but it is important that ground-level local assessment is necessary to detect sublets of human-environment interaction that are required for conservation planning. Of the 275 plant species examined, 224 species have been used for treatment of specific human ailments such as allergies, burns, cuts and wounds, inflammation, leprosy, leucoderma, scabies, smallpox and sexually transmitted diseases. For sustenance of bio-resources and fulfill the objectives for which Bangladesh has been declared as the Biosphere Reserve, the following studies may be conducted. Regeneration behavior of rare and threatened plant species as described in the presDownload
