Lalldhwojia pastinacifolia from Nepal is described as a species new to science of this small, little-known genus endemic to the Himalaya from Nepal to Bhutan. Another species, L. cooperi, is newly recorded from Nepal. Carpo-anatomical studies in L. pastinacifolia and L. cooperi indicate affinities of Lalldhwojia with Peucedanum s. ampl.
