No Wendy, you're correct. The red mangrove has the bright shiny green leaves, the distinctive prop roots that help prop it out over the water, and those characteristic propagules - the young seedlings that begin growing on the tree and then fall off into the water to float away and start a new tree elsewhere.
This are another resources for red mangrove. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhizophora_mangle and http://www.sfrc.ufl.edu/4h/Red_mangrove/redmangr.htm. :) May be I'm wrong because I just look at it seed and root.
