-The '''Rhizophoraceae''' are a [[family (biology)|family]] of [[tropical]] or [[subtropical]] [[flowering plant]]s. Among the better-known members are [[mangrove]] trees of the genus ''[[Rhizophora]]''. Around 147 [[species]] are distributed in 15 [[genus|genera]],<ref name="Christenhusz-Byng2016">{{cite journal | author = Christenhusz, M. J. M., and Byng, J.

-These are woody plants with opposite or whorled [[leaves]] (but not decussate), with [[insect]]-pollinated [[flower]]s having a nectary disc and typically five [[petal]]s. This family is now placed in the order [[Malpighiales]], though under the [[Cronquist system]], they formed an order in themselves (Rhizophorales).
-These species are often [[hermaphrodite]]s, more rarely [[Plant sexuality|polygamomonoecious]]. Mangrove species are usually [[viviparous]] while those living on land are not.
