Lumnitzera racemosa indeed. A fairly common mangrove species.
Surprisingly when I entered the genus name in the search window no results appeared. Is it true that this is getting discussed for the first time?
I remember observing this earlier but didn’t have proper images to post on the group.

Requesting to please validate the ID (Lumnitzera racemosa) of this mangrove captured in a small village near the Konkan coast, Devgad, Maharashtra in May 2014.

Seems to be okay. Pl consult the following publication: The family Combretaceae of Indian subcontinent – M. Gangopadhyay & T. Chakrabarty – J. Econ. Taxon. Bot. 21(2): 281-364. 1997

Yes Lumnitzera racemosa for sure.

Both Malayalam and English spelling are correct.


Regarding the Kannada name ತಂಡಾರ tandaara. Both Kannada name and its transliteration are correct. However, In English it can also be transliterated as thandara,  Which is more appropriate. In my opinion you may keep ‘tandara’ as well as ‘thandara’.


I will shortly revise the English spelling to thandaara for sake of consistency.
