During a recent field survey in the Angul district of Odisha state, five species of Pteridophytes were recorded for the first time, marking new additions to the botanical inventory of the Odisha state. These species are Asplenium yoshinagae Makino, Dryopteris carthusiana (Vill.) H.P.Fuchs, Lygodium palmatum (Bernh.)Sw., Thelypteris kunthii (Desv.) C.V.Morton, Thelypteris palustris Schott. The diagnostic features of each species are as follows: Asplenium yoshinagae is characterized by its small, brown, narrowly triangular and apically filiform scales on abaxial surface and pinna stalks. Dryopteris carthusiana is identified by its Veins that extend into each tooth are pinnate, simple, impressed adaxially, and elevated abaxially.  Lygodium palmatum is characterized by its long, creeping, slender rhizome and the presence of glandular, colorless or brown-tinged hairs throughout the frond. Thelypteris kunthii is characterized by its veins which is adaxially with similar hairs but blade tissue usually without hairs. Thelypteris palustris is characterized by its glabrous rachises, costae, and veins. This communication includes the taxonomic descriptions, synonyms, ecological information, and photographs for each of these newly recorded species.
