Diversity and Morphological distinctiveness of Avicennia Marina in the Sundarbans in India
Main Article Content
Abstract
Many factors contribute to the morphological variations in the members of a species of the plants grown in different areas and ecosystems. In such a way, Avicennia is woody trees or shrubs which grow near the coastal areas. Scientists Moldenke 1975 & Tomlinson 1986 recorded the considerable morphological differences in the leaves and flowers of Mangroves. The objective of the present work is to find out the complete morphological variations among the members of Avicennia grown in inland and marine systems.
