Rhizophoraceae is a family constituted by tropical or subtropical flowering plants. Plants are living Organisms belonging to the kingdom Plantae. The flowering plants or angiosperms ( Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta) are the most widespread group Magnoliopsida is the Botanical name for a class of Flowering plants By definition the class will include the family Magnoliaceae, but its The Malpighiales are a large order of Flowering plants included in the group named Eurosids I in the recent APG classification Robert Brown FRS ( 21 December, 1773 &ndash 10 June, 1858) was a Scottish scientist who is acknowledged as the leading botanist Captain Matthew Flinders, RN (16 March 1774 – 19 July 1814 was one of the most successful navigators and cartographers of his age UserPolbot. --> Anopyxis is a genus of Plant in family Rhizophoraceae, with 3 species Blepharistemma membranifolia is a species of Plant in the family Rhizophoraceae, and the only species of its genus UserPolbot. --> Carallia is a genus of Plant in family Rhizophoraceae.

Rhizophora is a Genus of tropical trees The most notable species is the Red mangrove ( Rhizophora mangle) but other species are known including In Biological classification, family ( Latin The Tropics are centered on the Equator and limited in Latitude by the Tropic of Cancer in the northern hemisphere at approximately 23°26' (23 The subtropics are the zones of the Earth immediately north and south of the tropic zone which is bounded by the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of The flowering plants or angiosperms ( Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta) are the most widespread group Among the better known members are mangrove trees of the genus Rhizophora. Mangroves (generally are Trees and Shrubs that grow in saline coastal habitats in the Tropics and Subtropics. Rhizophora is a Genus of tropical trees The most notable species is the Red mangrove ( Rhizophora mangle) but other species are known including There are around 120 species distributed in sixteen genera, most native to the Old World. In Biology, a species is one of the basic units of Biological classification and a Taxonomic rank. A genus (plural genera from Γένος Latin genus "descent family type gender" is a low-level Taxonomic The Old World consists of those parts of Earth known to Europeans Asians and Africans in the 15th century
These are woody plants with opposite or whorled leaves (but not decussate), with insect-pollinated flowers having a nectary disc and typically five petals. In Botany, a leaf is an above-ground Plant organ specialized for Photosynthesis. Insects ( Class Insecta) are a major group of Arthropods and the most diverse group of Animals on the Earth with over a million described A flower, also known as a bloom or Blossom, is the reproductive structure found in Flowering plants (plants of the division Magnoliophyta, also A petal (from Ancient Greek petalon "leaf" "thin plate" regarded as a highly modified leaf is one member or part of the corolla This family is now placed in the order Malpighiales, though under the Cronquist system they formed an order in themselves (Rhizophorales). The Malpighiales are a large order of Flowering plants included in the group named Eurosids I in the recent APG classification A system of plant taxonomy, the Cronquist system is a scheme for the classification of flowering plants (or Angiosperms)
These species are often hermaphrodite, more rarely polygamomonoecious. A hermaphrodite is an organism having both male and female reproductive organs Plant sexuality covers the wide variety of Sexual reproduction systems found across the Plant kingdom Mangrove species are usually viviparous while those living on land are not. A viviparous Animal is an animal employing vivipary: the embryo develops inside the body of the mother as opposed to outside in an egg ( Ovipary
Some species produce wood used for underwater construction or piling. Tannins are obtained from the tree's bark. Tannins are Astringent, bitter plant Polyphenols that either bind and Precipitate or shrink Proteins The astringency from the tannins is what
