Webster's 1913 Dictionary

MANGROVE

Man "grove, n. Etym: [Malay manggi-manggi.]

 

1. (Bot. )

 

Defn: The name of one or two trees of the genus Rhizophora (R. Mangle, and R. mucronata, the last doubtfully distinct ) inhabiting muddy shores of tropical regions, where they spread by emitting aërial roots, which fasten in the saline mire and eventually become new stems. The seeds also send down a strong root while yet attached to the parent plant.

 

Note: The fruit has a ruddy brown shell, and a delicate white pulp which is sweet and eatable. The bark is astringent, and is used for tanning leather. The black and the white mangrove (Avicennia nitida and A. tomentosa ) have much the same habit.

 

2. (Zoöl.)

 

Defn: The mango fish.
