Note

The distribution of mangrove forests in the southeastern United States is limited to the Florida Peninsula (Fig. 1). These forests consist of the woody facultative halophytes, the red [Rhizophora mangle L. (Rhizophoraceae)], black [Avicennia germinans L. Steam (Avicenniaceae)], and white [Laguncularia racemosa L. Gaertn.f. (Combretaceae)] mangroves. The buttonwood mangrove, Conocarpus erectus L., is also included in the mangrove flora of Florida but does not meet the " true or strict" mangrove definition proposed by Tomlinson (1986).
