AVICENNIA ALBA Blume Bijdr. (1826) 821 var. ACU M I N ATISSI M A

The leaves are lanceolate to narrowly lanceolate, 7 to 10 cm 
long, 1 to 2 cm wide, subequally narrowed at both ends, the apex 
very long and slenderly subcaudate-acuminate, when young 
minutely and densely cinereous-puberulent on the lower surface,

Amboina, Liang, Rel. Robins. 1862, November 29, 1913, along the beach, 
locally known as brappat and as mangi mangi. 
This peculiar form, which is apparently no more than a variety of 
Avicennia alba Blume, although strongly characterized by its narrow, very 
slenderly and sharply acuminate, ultimately quite glabrous leaves, is cer- 
tainly not included by Rumphius in his description of Mangium album 
( Avicennia officinalis Linn.)
