Description
Ceriops tagal or commonly known as Tengar samak is a small to medium-sized mangrove tree which usually grows up to 25 m tall with a trunk up to 45 cm in diameter. The bark is grey brown and slightly smooth to flaky. The leaves are yellowish-green, 5–12 cm long and 2–7 cm wide. The flower petals are white and turn brown when decay, the calyxes are green with five lobes and the stamens are 3–5 mm long. This mangrove species is common and widely distributed in Johor, Kedah, Malacca, Negeri Sembilan, Pahang, Perak and Selangor. It is further distinguished from other species by having a ribbed, long and slender hypocotyl that can grow up to 35 cm long (Madani & Wong, 1995). The flowers emit a mild sweet odour to attract pollinators which are most likely to be insects (Fern, 2014).
