    genus of mangrove trees thriving in saline coastal environments

    Avicennia is a genus of mangrove trees commonly found in tropical and subtropical coastal regions. These trees are known for their unique ability to thrive in saline environments, thanks to specialized root systems that filter salt and support the plant in waterlogged soils. Avicennia species play a crucial role in coastal ecosystems by stabilizing shorelines and providing habitat for various marine and terrestrial species.
