}}Ceriops tagal (spurred mangrove,[4] Indian mangrove, {{lang-af|Indiese wortelboom}}, {{lang-zu|Isinkaha}}[5]) is a mangrove tree species in the family Rhizophoraceae. It is a protected tree in South Africa.[5] The specific epithet {{lang|fil|tagal}} is a plant name from the Tagalog language.[7]

Description

Ceriops tagal is a medium-sized tree growing to a height of {{convert|25|m|-1}} with a trunk diameter of up to {{convert|45|cm|0|abbr=on}}. The growth habit is columnar or multi-stemmed and the tree develops large buttress roots. The radiating anchor roots are sometimes exposed and may loop up in places. The bark is silvery-grey to orangeish-brown, smooth with occasional pustular lenticels. The leaves are in opposite pairs, glossy yellowish-green above, obovate with entire margins, up to {{convert|6|cm|in|1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|3|cm|in|1|abbr=on}} wide. The flowers are borne singly in the leaf axils; each has a long stalk and a short calyx tube, and parts in fives or sixes. The paired stamens are enclosed in the petals which open explosively when disturbed. The ovoid fruits are up to {{convert|3|cm|in|0|abbr=on}} long suspended from the shrunken calyx tube. Brown at first, they change colour as they mature and the hypocotyl emerges. The hypocotyl is long and slender, growing to about {{convert|35|cm|in|0|abbr=on}} long, and is ribbed, a characteristic that distinguishes this mangrove from the smooth-fruited yellow mangrove (Ceriops australis).[7][1]

Distribution and habitat

C. tagal grows naturally in Eastern and Southern Africa, Madagascar, Seychelles, India, China, Indo-China, Malesia, Papuasia, the Caroline Islands, New Caledonia and Australia.[4] Its habitat is in brackish water areas near tidal lines.[7]

Uses

The durable wood is used in house construction. It is also used in the manufacture of charcoal,[7] and is favoured as firewood, being second only to Rhizophora spp., and a dye can be extracted from the bark. Among the mangrove species, its bark and sap yield red and black dyes which are used in batik and tanning leather.{{cn|date=April 2018}}
