| description | Background and Aims: The páramo ecosystems have a high diversity of plant species, many of them are endemic to Colombia. However, some páramos have remained unexplored, which has generated information gaps regarding the species distribution. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to present new records of plant species for the department of Boyacá, contributing to the knowledge of the páramo flora in Rabanal.Methods: Sampling was carried out in the Rabanal Páramo area, municipality of Samacá (Loma Redonda and La Chorrera trails); species distribution was reviewed, and a brief description of the taxa that are new records for the department was made.Key results: We present novelties in the floristic diversity of the department of Boyacá. We identified eight new records of angiosperm and pteridophyte taxa, four species belong to the family Orchidaceae, two to Polypodiaceae and the remaining to Bromeliaceae and Campanulaceae, in an altitudinal range of 3200-3301 m.Conclusions: This is the first floristic approach for the northwestern sector of the Rabanal Páramo area, where eight new distribution records of plant species are recorded for the department of Boyacá. Here we highlight the significance of carrying out botanical expeditions that increase diversity knowledge, as a basis for the development of protection and conservation strategies. |

Antecedentes y Objetivos: Los páramos albergan una alta diversidad de especies vegetales, muchas de las cuales son endémicas de Colombia. Sin embargo, existen zonas de páramo aún sin explorar, lo que ha generado vacíos de información sobre la distribución de las especies. Por tanto, el objetivo de este estudio es presentar los nuevos registros de especies vegetales para el departamento Boyacá y contribuir al conocimiento de la flora del Páramo de Rabanal.Métodos: Se realizaron muestreos en el Páramo de Rabanal, municipio Samacá (veredas Loma Redonda y La Chorrera), se revisó la distribución de las especies y se realizó una breve descripción de aquellos taxones que son nuevos registros para el departamento.Resultados clave: Se presentan novedades en la diversidad florística del departamento Boyacá. Se identifican ocho nuevos registros de taxa entre angiospermas y pteridofitos, cuatro especies pertenecen a la familia Orchidaceae, dos a Polypodiaceae y las restantes a Bromeliaceae y Campanulaceae, comprendidas en un rango altitudinal de 3200-3301 m.Conclusiones: Esta es la primera aproximación florística para el sector noroccidental del Páramo de Rabanal donde se reportan ocho nuevos registros de distribución de especies vegetales para el departamento Boyacá. Este estudio demuestra la importancia de realizar expediciones botánicas que permitan incrementar el conocimiento de la diversidad, como base para el desarrollo de estrategias para su protección y conservación.
