The Red Mangrove (Rhizophora mangle) produces fruits that sprout and mature while still on the parent tree. These are called viviparous propagules, which means "live birth". These eventually fall off and can float vertically in the water looking for a place to root (they appear somewhat like large pea pods with small roots sticking out of the bottom). They can withstand to float in salt water for over a year and survive on a dry beach up to two months.
