Conocarpus Erectus: Button MangroveThe Button Mangrove grows on shorelines in tropical and subtropical regions around the world, including Florida, the Carribean, South America, West Africa and Polynesia. It can thrive in high temperatures and absorbs brackish water. It is usually a dense, multiple trunked shrub, but 4-12 ft tall, but can also grow into a tree up to 70 ft tall. The fruits, hence their namesake, are buttonlike, with no petals. The seed heads burst when ripe, and the seeds are dispersed into the water. It is generally found growing in brackish water in tidal lagoons and bays, but can grow in inland habitats, with records at up to 2,444 ft altitude in Costa Rica.
