The calyx colour of fresh propagules is very important to identify the different Bruguiera species.Over the years, we found that the best way to teach mangrove plant identification is to do the comparative approach. In this photo, Bruguiera gymnorhiza (left), is placed alongside Bruguiera sexangula (yellow), Bruguiera hainesii (pink), Bruguiera cylindrica (yellowish-green) and finally on the right, we have Bruguiera parviflora.

Ceriops zippeliana (left) is commonly mistaken for Ceriops decandra (found in India, Myanmar, and Bangladesh). For comparison, Ceriops tagal is placed on the right. Interestingly, at least for Singapore mangroves, Ceriops zippeliana is the more common Ceriops species, and it is commonly found in the middle of the mangrove forest as this species is extremely shade tolerant.
