Description 1037-1050
Actual number of mangrove species found in the Andaman
and Nicobar Islands outnumber the number of
species recorded to occur there. Present study consists reviewing the
literature on mangrove floral composition and distribution as well as highlighting
the causes of such apparently large species numbers and apparently incorrect
identification of some of the mangrove species in the Andaman and Nicobar islands. Mangrove survey indicates that there are
33 exclusive ‘mangrove species’, at least 27 ‘mangrove associates’ that occur
on the islands.
