Bruguiera caryophylloides Bl. Bakau buros (Malay). 
Ceylon, British India, Burma, Malay Peninsula, Malay Archi- 
pelago, Philippine Islands. 
This species and the next differ from the two preceding in 
the pale yellow-green color of their foliage. 
This species is the smallest in the genus and it is likewise 
of the least frequent occurrence. 
Bruguiera parvifiora W. et Arn. Langgadei, Langgaray (Phil.), 
Burrus, B’rug, B’eus, (Malay). 
British India, Malay Peninsula and Archipelago, Philippine 
Islands, New Guinea, Queensland. 
A widely distributed and very common species, which makes 
up a large part of the formation. Oftentimes, the other species 
make up the outer fringe, of variable width, of the swamp 
and this species makes up almost the whole of the interior, 
in practically solid stands. The trees are beautifully clear, with 
excurrent trunks; but, though tall, they do not attain large 
diameter. The wood is used to some extent for piling and fire- 
wood. The bark contains only about 6—7°/, of tannin. The 
seeds of this species and the last are sometimes used as a 
vegetable. 
Ceriops tagal(Perr.)C.B.Robinson Tangal (Philippines); Tengah, 
(Ceriops Candolleana Ayn.) Tengar (Malay). 
Tropical East Africa, tropical Asia and Australia. 
Said to differ from the next in the thickness of the bark 
and the readiness with which it can be removed; also in the 
amount of gum. 
Ceriops Roxburghiana Arn. — Tangal (Philippines), 
: Tengah puti (Malay). 
Tropical Asia, Malay Archipelago, Philippine Islands. 
Both species of the genus occur in the swamp in the neigh- 
borhood of the mouths of rivers. They may be shrubs or trees; 
but do not grow so large as either the Réizophora’s or Bru-
