In Bruguiera genus which one is the correct spelling "gymnorrhiza" or "gymnorhiza" (Double "R" or Single "R"). I have seen few publications and sequences where randomly the spellings has been used. Even I have used "RR" during sequence submission. So I was wondering which one is most acceptable.
Thanx Sanam. Can you please provide some authentic literature on taxonomy of Bruguiera genus.
If the name Bruguiera gymnorrhiza in question should be written double r, if not then it might be different!
Sorry Dr. Milan I didn't got your answer. Can you be more explicit.
In Mabberley, The Plant Book, 2 ed., 104, 1997, Bruguiera gymnorhiza (L.) Sav.
Yes, it should be Bruguiera gymnorhiza.

Thank you Dr Yong for your references. I have also gone through your "Guides to mangroves" blog spot. Your contributions are commendable. Even we do have a copy of your 'blue sheet' for mangrove identification in our laboratory.
