An Australian tree resembling the black mangrove of the West Indies and Florida.
A mangrove of the West Indies and the southern Florida coast; occurs in dense thickets and has numerous short roots that bend up from the ground.
1By the sides of the creeks, especially nigh the sea, there grow a few small black mangrove-trees.
2The black mangrove grows larger here than in the West Indies, and of it they make good plank.
3In a slight depression at the base of a clump of black mangrove roots my light caught a torn strip of yellow plastic first.
4They cut it in thin strips and hung it over the fire of the black mangrove, which is one of the smokiest woods on earth.
5To the west the black mangroves grew thicker, almost like a wall.
6But here the wood which hid the margin was altogether of mangrove; the common Rhizophoras, or black mangroves, being, of course, the most abundant.
