Lumnitzera littorea
Lumnitzera littorea is a species of mangrove tree found primarily in coastal regions of Southeast Asia. It typically grows in intertidal zones, where it can tolerate saltwater and fluctuating tides. This tree can reach heights of up to 10 meters and features distinctive, narrow leaves that are dark green and glossy.
The species plays a crucial role in coastal ecosystems by providing habitat for various marine life and protecting shorelines from erosion. Its flowers are small and white, attracting pollinators, while its fruit is small and can be dispersed by water, aiding in the propagation of new plants in suitable environments.
