Conocarpus is a genus of two species of flowering plants in the family Combretaceae, native to tropical regions of the world. One of the species is a widespread mangrove species, the other is restricted to a small area around the southern Red Sea coasts, where it grows alongside seasonal rivers.

They are dense multiple-trunked shrubs or small to medium-sized trees from 1-20 m tall.

The generic name is derived from the Greek words κονος (konos), meaning "cone," and καρπος (karpos), meaning "fruit."[2]

Distribution

Conocarpus species are native to the silt shores of coasts and islands of Florida, including the Florida keys.[3] They are also widely distributed on coasts of tropical America from Bermuda and The Bahamas through West Indies including Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands; from Mexico south on the Atlantic coast to Brazil and on the Pacific Coast to Ecuador including the Galapagos Islands, and Peru; and on coasts of west Africa and in Melanesia and Polynesia.
