    Abstract:

    【Objective】 Northern Hengduan Mountains are shaped like a huge funnel, which add to the flora and vegetation diversity. The study aims to better understand flora diversity and vegetation structure of the North edge of the Hengduan Mountain, we conducted the investigation in Northern Hengduan Mountains from June to August 2023. 【Methods】 In this study, plants were collected and photographed through field investigation, made into specimens, and sorted out and identified. The voucher specimens for each reported species were preserved in the Herbarium of Yibin University(GAO20230801-20). 【Results】 Eight species, Ephedra minuta Florin(Ephedraceae), Caragana korshinskii Kom.(Fabaceae), Rhododendron luhuoense H. P. Yang(Ericaceae) , Rhododendron thymifolium Maxim.(Ericaceae) , Rhododendron orthocladum var. longistylum Philipson et M. N. Philipson(Ericaceae) , Rhododendron nivale Hook. f. subsp. australe Philipson et M. N. Philipson(Ericaceae) , Artemisia capillaris Thunb.(Asteraceae), Chenopodiastrum gracilispicum (H.W.Kung) Uotila(Amaranthaceae) are reported as newly recorded species in Xizang Autonomous Region. 【Conclusion】 The investigation of plants in the border areas of Northern Hengduan Mountains are still insufficient, which should be further strengthened in the investigation of flora and resources in the future. The discovery of new distributed plants is of great significance to the nature of the local flora and the attribution of the regionalization.
