Mangrove leaves refer to the leaves of mangrove trees, which are uniquely adapted to thrive in saline or brackish water environments. These leaves are thick, waxy, and often have salt-excreting glands to remove excess salt. They also have specialized adaptations such as sunken stomata and salt-excluding tissues that help mangrove trees cope with high salt concentrations.
