Name: Avicennia germinans (avicennia nitida) Avicenniaceae
Location found: Grand Isle
Habitat: Brackish and saline soils east of the atchafalaya.
This woody shrub is very sensitive to cold weather so it is limited to only warm climates. This plant can be found in flooded areas by high tides. On marsh islands dense stands of mangroves provide valuable nesting sites for various species of wading birds.
