Traditionally plants were identified and described with emphasis on reproductive characters like flowers and fruits. This method works well with herbs which are annual thus lacking distinguishing characters like the bark and easily enabling collection and preservation of the whole plant. However use of reproductive characters for day to day identification by field biologists amateur naturalists and people who do not necessarily posses special botanical knowledge is difficult and necessary. An urgent need of a preparation of field identification handbook for the mangrove forests which are having high ecological and economic value and recognized as most threatened ecosystems is felt. The present contribution will helpful to identify a mangrove plant species based on vegetative characters (bark leaf branching pattern etc) in the field itself. The present work is based on authors eleven years of field experience covering different mangrove systems. The book presents a field identification key to 109 species of Mangroves and associates. In addition colour photographs for several species were provided. 100 pp.

Towards this objectives, the taxonomical identity and distribution of mangrove species found in the country is revised and described. During field investigations, each species of mangrove and associated plants were identified and sampled. Description and high-resolution image material for each species is provided, which allows easy identification of individual species. This information is needed for coastal management planning and policy development, especially in relation to shoreline rehabilitation and expansion of appropriate shoreline livelihood projects in the face of climate change and sea level rise. Furthermore, global distribution of each mangrove species and its conservation status is provided. Voucher specimens of all the mangrove species reported in the text have been deposited at CSIR-National Botanical Research Institute, Lucknow (LWG) as well in Annamalai University and regional centres of Botanical Survey of India as reference collections for the country.
