The Convention on Biological Diversity encourages member countries to document their diversity and make it available for general use 1 . Consequently, apart from new species, additions to the country 2 and state floras 3 are being reported. Compilation of floral information for Himachal Pradesh (HP) revealed that duplicity of additions is not uncommon, wherein the same taxon has been reported as a new addition to the HP flora more than once. A minimum of eight such duplicate additions were found (Table 1).
