A taxonomic account of the genus Artabotrys R. Br. from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands along with a new record for India is presented. Of the three species recorded from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Artabotrys hexapetalus (L.f.) Bhandari is widely distributed; A. speciosus Kurz and A. nicobarianus D. Das are endemic to Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India and Artabotrys suaveolens (Bl.) Bl. is reported here as a new record for India from Great Nicobar Biosphere Reserve.

The ascidian fauna at Campbell Bay, Bquary Beach and Laxman Beach, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, was surveyed. A total of six species –Botrylloides leachi, Botrylloides pizoni, Clavelina picta, Clavelina robusta, Phallusia julineaandPolycarpa pigmentate– were newly recorded in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and the generaClavelinawas recorded for the first time in India. It is likely that the Andaman and Nicobar Islands provide a better environment for the growth of ascidians and this area in particular is populated by a greater variety of these ascidians than any of the other areas of the islands. This paper details their morphological and taxonomical features.

<p><em>Paracyathus pruinosus</em> Alcock, 1902, (Scleractinia: Caryophylliidae) was found from Andaman and Nicobar Islands, representing a new addition to the ahermatypic corals of India and the central Indian Ocean. The corallites of <em>Paracyathus pruinosus</em> were solitary, short, stout, elliptical and solid, mostly found under caves and slightly deep. Costae were granular, flat and equal. Septa were arranged closely and lined with granular ridges. Tentacles were found to extend only during night. The present record of <em>P. pruinosus </em>from Andaman and Nicobar Islands not only represents a new addition to the Caryophylliidae of the Central Indian Ocean, but also calls for conducting in-depth studies with a special emphasis to the under-studied caryophylliids of India.</p><div> </div>

During plant exploration of Andaman and Nicobar in 2014, we were collected some interesting grass specimens from Kamorta Islands of Nicobar. After critical study and taxonomic analysis the unidentified grass species has identified as an Aira caryophyllea L.  Perusals of relevant literature were revealed that, the genus Aira L. has so far not reported from Andaman and Nicobar islands. Hence, it is reported in present communication for new record to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

AbstractDuring a study of the species diversity and distribution of seagrasses from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands,Halophila beccariiwas recorded for the first time. This report updates the list of seagrasses for these islands from nine to ten species.Halophila beccariiwas observed in an intertidal area of muddy substratum in Haddo Bay. The occurrence of this species is significant because of its new distributional record and because it is reported as a “vulnerable species” in the IUCN Red List. The morphometric characters, biomass of the species and its habitat are described in Haddo Bay.
