<i>Mangifera andamanica</i> Species of flowering plant

Mangifera andamanica belongs to the family Anacardiaceae and is endemic to the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal. The fruits are edible and smaller than the Common Mango. This species is conserved at the Field Gene bank of Jawaharlal Neheru Tropical Botanic Garden and research Institute, Thiruvananthapuram, India.

Myristica andamanica is a species of plant in the family Myristicaceae. It is endemic to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Recent studies by Waman and Bohra (2020) suggested that the seeds can regenerate on their own if they remain undisturbed in soil and favourable microclimatic conditions are available. However, to ensure regular production of seedlings, assisted regeneration was recommended. Retention of seed hull and use of sinking seeds gives high germination percentage. Soaking of seeds in water for 24 h prior to sowing improved germination.
