Abstract
We recorded three species of angiosperms viz., Dontostemon glandulosus, Potentilla pamirica and Carex sagaensis for the first time from Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve in Uttarakhand, Western Himalaya. These species had not been reported from the state of Uttarakhand, Western Himalaya till date. Since these species are restricted in distribution and very little is known about them, we provide diagnostic features of these species along with photographs to aid field identification, phytogeographic and ecological notes.

A detailed scrutiny of the characters observed in the field, the literature and the authentic herbarium specimens (BSD, DD & WII) revealed that the species were new records to the state of Uttarakhand, western Himalaya
During the present floristic exploration we found only a few individuals of Dontostemon glandulosus, Potentilla pamirica in the UDV, NDBR indicating their rarity in the region
