Cerbera manghas,the sea mango, is a small evergreen coastal tree growing up to 12 metres tall. It is native to coastal areas in Africa, Asia, Australasia, and the Pacific islands. It is classified as one of the three species in the genus Cerbera that constitute mangroves. The shiny dark-green leaves grow in a spiral arrangement, and are ovoid in shape. The flowers are fragrant, possessing a white tubular five-lobed corolla about 3–5 cm in diameter, with a pink to red throat. They have five stamens and the o***y is positioned above the other flower parts. The fruits are egg-shaped, 5–10 cm long. At maturity they turn bright red.
