The Rhizophoras are perhaps 5 or 6 in num- ber, and are widely distri- buted on tropical shores. The genus gives name to the family RhizophoraceiE, which Benthara & Hooker 1362. The beginning of germi- place in close relation to nation in the Mangrove, the Conibretacew and Myr- tacew. The common Man- grove, is. Mangle, Linn., is one of the commonest plants on the swampy shores of tropical and subtropi- cal seas. It is not in cultivation, but its strange meth- ods of propagation make it one of the most interesting of plants. The following account is reprinted from Bailey's 'Lessons with Plants:' The Mangrove grows on the low shores of tropical lands. It extends as far north as the twenty-ninth par- allel in Florida, and occurs at the mouth of the Missis- sippi and on the coastof Texas. It is a spreading bush, reaching a height of 15 to 25 feet upon the shores, but becoming a tall tree in various places. It is an important agent in the extension of land into the sea. The means by which this result is accomplished are two. The fruit is small and capsule-like, but does not fall from the tree at maturity. A fruit is shown natural size in Fig. 13()2. The seed is germina
