Scientific name
Rhizophoreae

The Rhizophoreae form a monophyletic tribe of the plant family of the Rhizophora plants (Rhizophoraceae). All assigned taxa are mangrove trees .

description

Red mangrove seedlings ( Rhizophora mangle )

Rhizophoreae are trees or shrubs of the intertidal zone of tropical coasts . They have stilt roots or knee roots . The fruits germinate on the mother tree ( viviparia ), distribution unit (diaspore) are the seedlings .

Systematics

The monophyly of the Rhizophoreae is proven by morphological and molecular genetic studies.

The tribe Rhizophoreae contains about four genera :

• Bruguiera Savigny : The six or so species are distributed in the Indo-Pacific:
  • Bruguiera cylindrica (L.) Bl.
  • Bruguiera exaristata Ding Hou
  • Bruguiera gymnorrhiza (L.) Lam.
  • Bruguiera hainesii C.G. Rogers
  • Bruguiera parviflora (Roxb.) Wight & Arn. ex Griffith
  • Bruguiera sexangula (Lour.) Poir.
• Ceriops Arn. : The five or so species are distributed in the Indo-Pacific:
  • Ceriops australis
  • Ceriops decandra (Griff.) Ding Hou (Syn .: Ceriops roxburghiana Arn.)
  • Ceriops pseudodecandra Sheue, Liu, Tsai & Yang
  • Ceriops tagal (Perr.) CBRob.
  • Ceriops zippeliana
• Kandelia, DC. Wight & Arn. : The only two types are common in Southeast Asia:
  • Kandelia candel (L.) Druce
  • Kandelia obovata Sheue, Liu & Yong
• Rhizophora L .: The six to seven species have a pantropical distribution. In addition to the species listed, the hybrids Rhizophora × lamarckii and Rhizophora × selala have been described:
  • Rhizophora apiculata flower
  • Rhizophora harrisonii Leechm.
  • Rhizophora mangle L.
  • Rhizophora mucronata Lam.
  • Rhizophora racemosa G.Mey.
  • Rhizophora samoensis (upper right) Salv. (possibly identical to Rhizophora mangle )
  • Rhizophora stylosa Griffith
