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