Diversity angiosperm climber species in Rajshahi region, Bangladesh was carried out from January 2015 to November 2019. An extensive floristic survey an angiosperm climbers and collection have been made throughout the study area. A total of 88 species belonging to 55genera under 25 families were recorded. Distribution of angiosperm plant species in the families shows variation. The family Cucurbitaceae is represented by 27 species. Fabaceae is represented by 12 species. Convolvulaceae is represented by 9 species. A single species is represented by 13 families while 2 to 4 species is represented by 9 families. Out of 88 species, 53.40% species was common and 46.59% was rare species in the study area. For each species scientific name, local name, family, flowering and fruiting time and status of occurrence are provided with specimen citation
