Bruguiera exaristata, commonly known as the rib-fruited mangrove or rib-fruited orange mangrove, is a mangrove of the family Rhizophoraceae. [1] [2]
The species is pollinated by birds. [3]: 129 The species also contains tropine esters of acetic, benzoic, n-butyric, isobutyric, propionic, and isovaleric acids. [4] The tropane alkaloid brugine is found in the bark of this species. [5]
Bruguiera exaristata is a mangrove, forming mangrove swamps of small trees or shrubs with self-supporting growth in shallow saline or brackish water. [6]
It is native to Lesser Sunda Islands, New Guinea and Northern Australia. [7] It can be found along the coast at the mouth of the De Grey River, [8] but it is rare in North West Cape. [9]
