Bruguiera gymnorhiza is a species of mangrove tree commonly found in coastal areas of tropical and subtropical regions. It typically grows in intertidal zones, where it plays a crucial role in stabilizing shorelines and providing habitat for various marine species. The tree can reach heights of up to 20 meters and features distinctive prop roots that help it withstand strong tidal currents. This mangrove species is characterized by its thick, leathery leaves and small, white flowers that bloom in clusters. Bruguiera gymnorhiza is also known for its unique ability to filter salt from seawater, making it well-adapted to its saline environment. Its presence is vital for maintaining ecological balance in coastal ecosystems.
