Mangifera andamanica

Mangifera andamanica, described by King in 1896, is a member of the Anacardiaceae family. It is endemic to the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal and is also found in Assam. The species is distinguished by its edible fruits, which are smaller than those of the widely known Common Mango (Mangifera indica). Conservation efforts include its preservation at the Field Gene bank of Jawaharlal Nehru Tropical Botanic Garden and Research Institute in Thiruvananthapuram, India. This species is part of the broader genus Mangifera, which is distributed globally.
