The less known Mitrephora andamanica (Annonaceae) from Andaman Islands

Abstract

The unresolved status assigned to Mitrephora andamanica Thoth. & D. Das in majority plant databases is essentially owing to its incomplete characterization when it was first published and also due to absence of collections after the type from the Middle Andaman Islands. The present report concerns to its recollection from North Andaman Islands and is now wholly described and its populations in the Islands are assessed.
