	Plant Genetic Resource expedition in Great Nicobar revealed the distribution of 39 plant taxa belonging to 37 genera, island of India, including 14 new records to the Nicobar group of islands and one (Dichondra micrantha Urb.) to Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Among the 39 taxa, 16 have the importance of being wild relatives of 15 crop species. Fourteen species are classified as naturalized ones (including four globally recognized invasive species); some of them pose potential threat to the ecosystem of this fragile island. These new records were documented and herbarium was submitted to NBPGR, New Delhi.
