I am always fascinated with mangroves and have visited some in SE Asia. Sad that I have not kept any photos in the 90s such as those at Punggol end which we visited in a Geography camp.
The following are examples I have taken in Sungei Buloh Wetland.
The pencil-like breathing root of the Avicennia
The knee-like or knob-like roots of the Bruguiera
The prop roots of the Rhizophora
Update on another species, Sonneratia mangrove, near the jetty at Pulau Ubin. It has a more rounded breathing root sticking out of the ground.

I have decided to share the photos I have taken of mangroves in Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei and Thailand. You are free to use the photos for your lessons.
