Definition: Rhizophora mucronata
Mangrove
\Man"grove\, n. [Malay manggi-manggi.]
1. (Bot.) The name of one or two trees of the genus
Rhizophora (
Rhizophora Mangle, and
Rhizophora mucronata
, the last doubtfully distinct) inhabiting muddy
shores of tropical regions, where they spread by emitting
a["e]rial roots, which fasten in the saline mire and
eventually become new stems. The seeds also send down a
strong root while yet attached to the parent plant.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The fruit has a ruddy brown shell, and a delicate white
pulp which is sweet and eatable. The bark is
astringent, and is used for tanning leather. The black
and the white mangrove (
Avicennia nitida and
Avicennia tomentosa) have much the same habit.
[1913 Webster]
2. (Zo["o]l.) The mango fish.
[1913 Webster]
