A contribution is made to the rust fungus flora of AJ and K (Lawat, Leepa Valley and Jabba) and adjacent Northern Areas (Fairy Meadows) of Pakistan. During this survey, eleven different host plants were found infected with ten rust fungi belonging to five different genera. Among these, Cerotelium fici, Puccinia aestivalis, P. chrysanthemi, P. sibirica, P. swertiae, P. wattiana, Pucciniastrum agrimoniae and Tranzschelia discolor are newly recorded from Azad Jammu and Kashmir, while Puccinia nitidula, P. sibirica and Uromyces vossiae are first time reported from Northern Areas of Pakistan. Moreover, Bistorta vivipara for Puccinia sibirica, Microstegium nudum for P. aestivalis and Prunus domestica for Tranzschelia discolor are reported as new hosts from Pakistan. In addition to the light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy have been incorporated to upgrade the previous descriptions and for correct identification of these fungi.
