Rhizophoraceae
Family of flowering plants / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rhizophoraceae is a family of tropical or subtropical flowering plants.[1] It includes around 147 species distributed in 15 genera.[2] Under the family, there are three tribes, Rhizophoreae, Gynotrocheae, and Macarisieae.[2] Even though Rhizophoraceae is known for its mangrove members, only the genera under Rhizophoreae grow in the mangrove habitats and the remaining members live in inland forests.[2]
