The tropical islands of India are amongst the 22 agro-biodiversity hotspots of the country, of which Andaman and Nicobar Islands harbour rich diversity of flora including species that are common to South Asia and Southeast Asia. High level of endemism (ca. 300 species) and fragile ecosystem are unique features of these distant islands. More than 81% of total geographical area of these islands is under forest cover, which opens up opportunities to explore them for valuable germplasm for future use. This germplasm includes crop wild relatives of perennial horticultural crops, most of which have not been studied systematically so far. The present article aims at highlighting the diversity, importance and present status of selected perennial crop wild relatives of these islands. Further, researchable issues associated with these species, their conservation and sustainable utilization have been dealt herewith.
