List of trees of the Andaman Islands

Add article description

The Andaman Islands fall within the Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspot. While endemism estimated to be a modest 17%, the islands share about 65% of its tree species with south-west Myanmar.[1] Early explorers like Wilhelm Sulpiz Kurz documented the flora of the region, and Charles Edward Parkinson published a Flora of the Andaman Islands[2] with important tree species of the region. Since then, a number of tree species have been described.[3][4] A comprehensive checklist of flora of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands has been published by the Botanical Survey of India - a 3-volume flora is currently under preparation of which the first volume was published in 2008.[5]

List of species

This checklist includes trees and other flora listed in Parkinson (1923).[2] It includes most native tree species and some exotic trees species.
