Phoenix andamanensis S. Barrow is a wild relative of date palm endemic to the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal southwest of Myanmar. It is rather a newly described taxon by Sasha C. Barrow in 1998 based on old herbarium collections. This taxon was known only from a few herbarium collections and a few insignificant citations by Kurz in 1870, Brandis in 1906 and Parkinson in 1923. The Herbarium collections were made mostly during the British regime in 1903, 1904 and 1911 by Rogers and Osmaton. Later, Ellis from the Botanical Survey of India in 1990 collected one specimen from the Saddle Peak. The specimens were remained unidentified at herbaria until its circumscription as new taxon by Barrow in 1998.
The Andaman shrew or Andaman white-toothed shrew is a critically endangered species of mammal in the family Soricidae. It is endemic to the South Andaman Island of India. They are usually active by twilight or in the night and have specialized habitat requirements. Habitat loss due to selective logging, natural disasters such as tsunami and drastic weather change are thought to contribute to current population declines.
Conus andamanensis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.

Mimusops andamanensis is an endangered species of flowering plant enlisted in the World List of Threatened Trees with disjunct distribution in Sri Lanka and Andaman-Nicobar Islands. The ‘National Red List 2012 of Sri Lanka’ published by the Biodiversity Secretariat of the Sri Lankan Ministry of Environment in collaboration with the National Herbarium also included Mimusops andamanensis under endangered category as per the IUCN criteria B1(i, ii,iii) and 2ab. This species was originally described by King and Gamble in 1906 based on a specimen procured from Port Mount Hill jungle of South Andaman Island by one of the King’s collectors dated as 16/04/1892 and has no authentic information on this species until 2014 other than type collection. According to Balakrishnan and Rao (1983) this taxon was known only from its type collection. Mimusops andamanensis remained as an exclusive endemic of the Andaman Islands until the taxon has been recognized from Sri Lanka in 2001 indicating its disjunct distribution in far off insular habitats from Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal. Mathew et al. reported this species from the Little Andaman Island in 2014 after the type collection in 1892 and collected seeds. Seed germination protocol for Mimusops andamanensis under controlled conditions has also been standardized at Jawharlal Nehru Tropical Botanic Garden and Research Institute (JNTBGRI), Trivandrum, India as the part of ex-situ germplasm conservation of Andaman-Nicobar plant species outside the islands and the seedlings are well established qt the Field Gene Bank of the JNTBGRI(Mathew & Chitra, 2015).
Cesiribacter andamanensis is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped and non-motile bacterium from the genus of Cesiribacter which has been isolated from soil from a mud volcano on the Baratang Island in India.
