Detailed descriptions and photographs are provided for easy identification. INTRODUCTION The exploration of vegetation wealth of a region gives us correct understanding of bio resources for the betterment of human beings (Khan et al., 2015). Arunachal Pradesh, by virtue of its geographical position, climate conditions and altitudinal variations, is a biodiversity rich region in North East India, with large zone of tropical wet evergreen, subtropical, temperate and alpine forests (Bawri et al., 2014). The present report of floristic records provides available information on six species of vascular plants which were reported from the state of Arunachal Pradesh, India for the first time. These plants were collected from nearby forest area of Pasighat ( N, E) and its surrounding area during the recent field surveys. All the specimens were taxonomically verified using existing floristic treatises listed ahead and herbarium consultation at Botanical Survey of India, Arunachal Pradesh Regional Centre, Itanagar (ARUN). The flora of Arunachal Pradesh is still under explorations, and the present botanical survey only contributes to some extent to the floristic diversity of Arunachal Pradesh State. Perusal of the old literature on the flora of Arunachal Pradesh, such as A Contribution to the Flora of Namdapha, Arunachal Pradesh (Chauhan et al., 1996), Materials for the flora of Arunachal Pradesh (Hajra et al., 1996), Note on the floristic diversity and vegetation types of the Mouling National Park, Arunachal Pradesh. Himalayan Biosphere Reserves (Kumar et al., 2004), A preliminary report on floristic diversity of Dihang Dibang biosphere reserve of Arunachal Pradesh, Bulletin of Arunachal Forest Research (Choudhary, 2008), Phytodiversity and forest resources of Kane Wildlife Sanctuary, Arunachal Pradesh (Dash, 2009), recent study from Pakke Wildlife Sanctuary and Tiger Reserve in East Kameng District (Tag et al., 2012), Floral diversity of Arunachal Pradesh- Upper Subansiri District (Ambrish, 2013) revealed that, Phyllanthus fraternus, Rotula aquatica, Synedrella nodiflora, Thunbergia erecta, Torenia fournieri and Trivalvaria dubia are new records for the state. For all the species, voucher specimens were deposited at the CAL and at North Eastern Institute of Folk Medicine, Pasighat, Arunachal Pradesh, for future reference.
