We present 4 new and 5 overlooked records of vascular plant species for Peru from high elevation puna grasslands in the Urubamba and Vilcabamba Cordilleras, southern Peru. The new species records are: Lasiocephalus lingulatus (Asteraceae); Cardamine vulgaris (Brassicaceae); Lupinus herzogii, Lupinus soratensis (Fabaceae). Other species records, i.e., Calamagrostis sclerantha, Festuca soukupii (Poaceae); Aphanes parvula, Lachemilla tanacetifolia (Rosaceae), and Valeriana mandonii (Valerianaceae), that are mentioned in literature for Peru but have not been acknowledged by the Peru Checklist or the Catalogue of the Flowering Plants and Gymnosperms of Peru are also included. Previous knowledge on the distribution of these species is discussed.

Keywords : records; vascular plants; puna; southern Peruvian Andes.
