Lumnitzera is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Combretaceae. These plants are typically found in coastal and mangrove environments, thriving in saline conditions. They are known for their ability to tolerate saltwater and play a crucial role in coastal ecosystems by stabilizing shorelines and providing habitat for various wildlife.
