The Combretaceae, often called the white mangrove family, are a family of flowering plants in the order Myrtales. The family includes about 530 species of trees, shrubs, and lianas in ca 10 genera.[4] The family includes the leadwood tree, Combretum imberbe . Three genera, Conocarpus , Laguncularia , and Lumnitzera , grow in mangrove habitats (mangals).[5] The Combretaceae are widespread in the subtropics and tropics. Some members of this family produce useful construction timber, such as idigbo from Terminalia ivorensis . The commonly cultivated Quisqualis indica (as well as the entire former genus Quisqualis) is now placed in the genus Combretum . Many plants in the former Quisqualis genus contain the excitotoxin quisqualic acid, a potent AMPA agonist.[6]
White mangroves
[edit ]The family name comes from the type genus Combretum ; it also includes the white mangrove, Laguncularia racemosa , found along seacoasts in tropical America and West Africa.
