Rhizophora (Greek, root and bearing, referring to the fact that the seeds germinate even while attached to the plant if they touch the ground). Rhizophoraceae. Trees, with thick terete scarred branches, sometimes planted to hold seashores: lvs. opposite, petioled, thick, leathery, ovate or elliptic, entire, glabrous: peduncles axillary, di- or trichotomously branched, few-fld.: fls. rather large, leathery, sessile or pedicelled; calyx-limb 4-parted; petals 4; stamens 8-12; ovary semi-inferior, 2-celled: fr. leathery, ovoid or obconical, 1-celled, 1-seeded.—About 3 species, seashores of the tropics. R. Mangle, Linn. Shrub or tree reaching a height of 30 ft.: lvs. 2-6 in. long, leathery, elliptic or elliptic-obovate, obtuse: peduncles 2—3-fld.; fls. pale yellow; sepals lanceolate; petals linear, or nearly so, leathery, cleft at tip. Coast of Fla. and the tropics. It forms impenetrable thickets.
