Lumnitzera racemosa

Lumnitzera racemosa is a species of tree or shrub of the Combretaceae family. It is found in Asia, east Africa, and parts of the Pacific. In Kenya, it is more of a shrub than a tree, but mainly elsewhere, it is a mangrove.

Its leaves are succulent, and reach sizes of 4 cm long, and 2 wide. They are obovate. There is rarely ever a petiole. The flowers are white, with 5 petals, and the fruit is fleshy and flattened.
