The Papikonda National Park is an important wildlife area in the Eastern Ghats of Andhra Pradesh 2 spreads over 1012.86 km in East and West Godavari districts of Andhra Pradesh (Ray et al. 2020). While exploring the floral diversity of this National park, one of the authors (YM) has collected three interesting plant species from Chintur, Gokavaram and Kukunur ranges. After critical studies of the specimens with relevant literature and herbarium specimens, the specimens have been identified as Adenosma indiana (Lour.) Merr. (Plantaginaceae), Ipomoea laxiflora H.J. Chowdhery & Debta (Convolvulaceae) and Nicotiana plumbaginifolia Viv. Elench. (Solanaceae). Perusal of literature revealed that, all the three species have been not reported from Andhra Pradesh (Pullaiah, 2018). Hence these are reported here as new distributional records to the flora of Andhra PradeshReferences
