<p>We recorded three species of angiosperms viz., <em>Dontostemon glandulosus</em>, <em>Potentilla pamirica</em> and <em>Carex sagaensis </em>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. </p>
