Abstract
The middle Andaman Island populations of Momordica cochinchinensis are quite distinct from true M. cochinchinensis in some floral characters. Such deviating specimens are described here as a new subspecies. A full technical description, a morphological comparison between the two subspecies, ecology, phenology, confirmation of genomic distinctiveness through DNA barcoding of matK and rbcL chloroplast loci and viability under cultivation are discussed. An epitype is also designated for Momordica cochinchinensis subsp. cochinchinensis.
