Kandelia candel : Devbagh:
Kandelia candel : A mangrove species. Observed in Devbagh
Family :Rhizophoraceae
This was observed growing naturally and also planted.
Small evrgreen tree.
Flower size 4cm


These are some of the pictures of the area through which we walked to observe many mangroves from close distance


Very nice, branching out into Mangroves, are you,  …? Soon you will have a catalogue of them…. it seems… Never seen so many mangrove flowers before, thank you…
Noticed a bridge not too far from this last pic’s greenery-patch, so what do environmentalists think of the future of this mangrove with encroaching pollution that the traffic will bring and silt deposits that the bridge-pillions will encourage, I wonder… or has that been studied here or elsewhere on the west coast…….??? The shape of the bases makes me think its not a very old bridge…

Please help me by:
1) validating the Kannada name ಕಾಂದಳೆ (kandale)
2) providing the Telugu names — kandigala, thuvar-kandan in native script.



A small correction in the Malayalam script.  Kantal or kandal is to be written as കണ്ടല്‍.
Also Cheru-kantal should be written as ചെറുകണ്ടല്‍.


Thank you very very much for correcting these errors, … I have corrected my notes in flickr accordingly.
I have made correction in Names of Plants in India site too … … Malayalam: ചെറുകണ്ടല്‍ cheru-kantal, എഴുത്താണിക്കണ്ടൽ eluttanikkantal, കണ്ടല്‍ kantal


In both Malayalam and English spellings needs only ‘‘ and ‘k‘. So  kan-duh-LEE-uh — from Malabar name of the plant, kantal (കണ്ടൽ)

KAN-del — from Malabar name of the plant, kantal (കണ്ടൽ)

Correct spelling is ചെറുകണ്ടൽ cherukantal  എഴുത്താണികണ്ടൽ ezhuthanikantal  കണ്ടൽ kantal
Hence no use of ‘ക്ക’ and ‘kk’.


Thanks very much, …, for your keen eyes and for pointing out these errors.

These were pointed out earlier by … and I had corrected them, but inadvertently, I copy-pasted the old mistaken spellings.
I am revising the notes and correcting them.
