Abstract
Natural popoSationi of Arecanut (Areca catechu L.) and Coconut {Cocas nucifera L.) were observed in Nicobar Isiands and Areca triandra Roxb. in Andaman Islands. Both Arecanut and Coconut populations show extreme variability in morphological characters which arc tabulated and illustrated. Literature on the original home of these crops are reviewed. It is suggested that Nicobar Islands possibly form part of the original home of both Arecanut and Coconut shared by other SB. Asian regions and Indo-Pacific regions respectively
