Description: Landward from the mangrove areas, in drier sites, the mangrove tree <i>Avicennia marina</i> occurs, often with an admixture of <i>Lumnitzera racemosa</i>, and forms a band where trees are scattered in savanna fashion over a ground cover of herbs. The latter include <i>Chenolea diffusa, Salicornia pachystachya, Sarcocornia indica, Sesuvium portulacastrum</i>, and <i>Suaeda monoica</i>. Grasses are often present, including <i>Paspalum distichum</i> in wet saline sites, <i>Dactyloctenium geminatum</i> in wet but only brackish sites, and <i>Sporobolus virginicus</i> on the dry fringes.
