Two labiates, Elsholtzia major (Hook. f.) V. S. Kumar & B. D. Sharma and Isodon rugosus (Wall. ex Benth.) Codd are reported for the first time from Arunachal Pradesh, India. The former species is hitherto known only from Uttarakhand and Sikkim Himalaya, while the latter although widely distributed from Afghanistan to China, its report from this state is a new record to NE India.
