The Andaman and Nicobar Islands is a group of 836 islands spread in a narrow band over some 467 km off the east coast of India. Their insular nature and the physical isolation between the islands and the neighbouring mainland through millions of years has resulted in the evolution of a rare and distinct flora, which, though related to the mainland flora, shows much closer affinity with Myanmar, Malaysian and Indonesian floras. The second volume of this flora covers 84 families from Myrtaceae to Podocarpaceae.
