'''''Bruguiera''''' is a plant genus in the family Rhizophoraceae. It is a small genus of five mangrove species and three hybrids of the Indian and west Pacific Ocean region, its range extending from East Africa and Madagascar through coastal India, Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia to northern Australia, Melanesia and Polynesia.<ref name=powo/> It is characterised by calyces with 8-16 lanceolate, pointed lobes, 16-32 stamens, explosive release of pollen, and viviparous propagules. It is named in honour of French explorer and biologist Jean Guillaume Bruguière (1750–1798). Recently, the eighth taxa of Bruguiera, ''B. × dungarra'' (a previously undescribed hybrid species between ''B. exaristata'' and ''B. gymnorhiza'') was recognised as occurring in northern Australia.<ref>{{Citation|last=Duke|first=N.
