Newly recorded seed plants in China

Abstract

Abstract [Objective] The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau possesses unique and valuable plant resources due to its special geographical location, rich vegetation types, and complex and variable climatic conditions. Understanding plant background information and geographical distribution are of great importance to the study of the flora in this region. [Methods and Results] In this paper, three newly recorded plant species, namely Pedicularis cornigera T.Yamaz., Hymenidium dentatum (DC.) Pimenov & Kljuykov, and Lagotis kunawurensis Rupr., were discovered based on the survey of the alpine plant diversity and flora in the Karma Gorge region of Tingri County, Tibet Autonomous Region. [Conclusion] This paper reports three newly recorded plant species, which provides reference for the study of plant composition in this region. It provides additional information for plant diversity conservation and systematic classification in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
