Week 29: Mangrove: Acanthaceae, Avicenniaceae or Verbenaceae

Acanthaceae, Avicenniaceae or Verbenaceae,
Arecaceae or Combretaceae?
I thought my mangrove was a Rhizophora,
but it could also belong to the Lytheraceae

But is it then a Sonneratia acida,
or rather a Sonneratia alba,
Sonneratia ovalis or ovata,
Sonneratia neglecta or rubra?

Come forth, o Name, out of thy shell of Appearance!

Bombacaceae, Cyperaceae, Meliaceae,
Pteridaceae, Rubiaceae, Myrsinaceae...
Who am I to know the intricacies of mangroves,
I am, after all, just a homo sapiens!
