Red Mangrove = Rhizophora mangle
Family: Rhizophoraceae (Red Mangrove)
Throughout the tropics
Red Mangrove grows on aerial prop roots,
which arch above the water level.
They thrive on coastlines in brackish water
and in swampy salt marshes.
Because they are well adopted to salt water,
they exist where many other plants fail,
and create their own ecosystems.
真水と海水の中間の水に生息するマングローブ。
塩分を含む水では生きられない植物が多い中、水辺海辺で
増殖して独自の環境をつくりだす植物。
水の上にアーチを描く根は独特の絶景。

The flowers: 1/2" (1.3 cm) are white to yellowish,
star-shaped and bloom year-round.
恐ろしいような根の割には、上品な花をつけますね。
