In fact, its Maori name 'Manawa' means White Mangrove or Mangrove, and much like its counterparts in the Avicennia family, it has an exceptional ability to grow aerial roots called pneumatophores. These specialized structures allow the plant to take up oxygen directly from the atmosphere when lower root sections are submerged in water. Conversely, if the plant grows on land rather than marshy ground, this development often becomes non-existent. Interestingly, this remarkable plant thrives perfectly in areas that combine fresh and saltwater, albeit with noticeable growth issues in highly concentrated salty conditions. This specific mangrove tree generally reaches an average height of three to ten meters. It primarily originates from various regions such as Northwestern Australia and New Zealand in addition to tropical pacific areas surrounding it. In regards to environmental conditions, this species of mangroves specifically thrive in the intertidal zones present within estuaries throughout those geographic areas.
