Avicennia schaueriana is a salt-tolerant mangrove tree of tropical Atlantic coasts and estuaries, from the Lesser Antilles to Uruguay. It is grown only in brackish or saline tidal settings, not as a garden plant in ordinary soil.
Avicennia schaueriana is a species of tropical mangrove in the family Acanthaceae. It grows in coastal and estuarine locations along the Atlantic coast of northeastern South America, from Venezuela and the Leeward Islands through Trinidad and Tobago, the Windward Islands, the Guianas, and Brazil to Uruguay.
Avicennia schaueriana is self-compatible and insect-pollinated (bees and wasps, butterflies and moths, and flies).
