During the Euphorbiaceae week Rashida ji had given some information about this species which I am adding below
This is the only member of the Euphorbiaceae family associated with mangroves It is a resilient mangrove species, does not have salt glands and aerial roots, and so technically it is a non-mangrove or mangrove associate species. It has adapted to its saline environment by a salt excretory mechanism known as gall formation. The network of perforated snake-like roots help to grip the less consolidated and eroding soils.The species has both male and female trees, female flowers produce pink berry-like fruits from a March to October. The above is male flowering with several catkin-like spikes. This is a poisonous plant and may cause blindness if the sap enters the eyes.However,the sap also has medicinal properties and is indigenously used in the treatment of rheumatism.
