In order to complete the collection of Hormozgan flora which is done during phase 1, collection from different patrs of the provinc specially where we missed during the earlier phase is programed in a five year period. In this study Hormozgan province is devided into four regions; northern, westrn, eastearn and southern (including islands)and the plants of each region is collected during one year. Collection in each region is so arranged that represents the whole vegetation of the area. Collected specimens were dried by simple instrument and then brought to the office for further operation. After drying all specimens were fumigated by phostoxin and after determining (by means of floras) and notation of information in special note books original specimens were fixed on special paper sheets and information (such as locality date and altitude) are inputed to the computer for printing labels.Then the specimens were covered by plastic tissues for better protection against insect injuries. Finally they all is transferred to the herbarium files. Families are arranged in alphabetic manner but genera and species according to phylogenetic realationships. Following refferences were obtained and greatly used for determination: Flora Iranica; Fl. W. Pakistan; Flora of Lybia; Flora of Iran by A.Gahreman; Flora palaestina ; Flora of Iran in persian and some others. One duplicate of most specimens were send to Hebarium of Forests and Rangelands Research Institute and one another is filled in herbarium for futher needs. Eventually at the time of reporting more than 7500 specimens are deposited in the herbarium which determined as careful as possible. According to defficit of annual rain Fall during the past several years unfortunately collection of many annual terophytes and also binial which are an important part of the province vegetation become difficult and even impossible some of the times and as previously mentioned it leads to low number of collected specimens.
