Bruguiera gymnorhiza

Description:

The calyx colour of fresh propagules is very important to identify the different Bruguiera species.Over the years, we found that the best way to teach mangrove plant identification is to do the comparative approach. In this photo, Bruguiera gymnorhiza (left), is placed alongside Bruguiera sexangula (yellow), Bruguiera hainesii (pink), Bruguiera cylindrica (yellowish-green) and finally on the right, we have Bruguiera parviflora.
