Note: Species in Rhizophoraceae, such as Rhizophora stylosa,
Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, and Kandelia obovata,
develop usually 1 (rarely 2) seed in its fruit.
A seed germinates in its fruit and develop out of its fruit like
a seedling still undetached from the fruit.
It is not an actual seed nor seedling, bat it is called fruit, viviparous
seed, or propagule (propagating organ) in this Web-site.
