Milky Mangrove

This tree is found along tidal streams, or on the margins of tidal salt meadows. It grows mainly in the tropics and subtropics.

It oozes a milky sap that’s very dangerous even to touch. Locals know not to even climb them, otherwise they’ll end up with intense skin irritation, blisters, and temporary blindness (if it gets in their eyes).
