Aegiceras is a genus of trees and shrubs from Southeast Asia, Malesia, Australia and the Pacific Island,.[1] and in Australia, in the Northern Territory, Queensland, New South Wales, and Western Australia.[2] They occur as mangroves in coastal or estuarine areas.[2]
The genus was first described in 1788 by Joseph Gaertner.[3][4] The genus name, Aegiceras, derives from two Greek words: aix ("goat") and keras ("horn", and describes the genus as having fruits with horns like a goat.[5]
