Abstract

In the present communication, new distribution ranges of three species of the tribe Paniceae (Poaceae) have been recorded from the western Himalayas of India, i.e., Moorochloa eruciformis, Sacciolepis indica and Setaria homonyma for the states of Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir, respectively. In addition, the geographical range expansion of the endemic species Paspalum canarae from the eastern Himalaya to the western Himalaya is also presented. A detailed taxonomic description, notes on the habitat with updated distribution, and taxonomic notes along with photo plates are provided. Additionally, an updated distribution map of the above species is also included.
