Flora of Andaman20-050111-PKA1<\/a>: I found this tree very interesting. The famous\u00a0\u00a0Radhanagar beach at
\nHavelock island in Andmans was found to be dominated by this trees all along the beach. Trees were very tall and were in its fruiting stage. Local people call this as “Mohua” tree or “Sea Mohua<\/b>“.<\/div>\n
\n

Could this be\u00a0Mimusops littoralis<\/i> ?? Kindly Validate the ID.

I think Calophyllum inophyllum<\/i> L.<\/p>\n

\n

… the fruits here look very different from that of Calophyllum inophyllum<\/i>.
