- Abstract
Phoenix andamanensis is an insular endemic described by Sasha C. Barrow in 1998 based on the specimens collected in 1990 by Jamueal Leopold Ellis from the Saddle Peak. This species is known only from a few herbarium collections, mostly collected during the earlier part of 20th century. The ecology, populations, natural regeneration and conservation status of this species are poorly known. During recent fieldwork in the Andaman-Nicobar Archipelago, two populations of Phoenix andamanensis were located in dense evergreen forests near Kalpong Hydroelectric Project catchment area and Saddle Peak. The natural history of Phoenix andamanensis is detailed and illustrated here.
