Summary

A comprehensive floristic survey of the Great Himalayan National Park (GHNP) in Himachal Pradesh, India, identified 66 previously undocumented angiosperm species. These include one tree, 13 shrubs, two climbers, and 50 herbs, representing 55 genera across 32 families. The study, conducted between 2010 and 2011, provides critical data on the flowering patterns, altitude distribution, growth habits, and potential uses of these species. This significant contribution to the region's flora enhances our understanding of biodiversity in this UNESCO World Heritage Site, offering valuable insights for conservation efforts.
