Description
Any of several trees or shrubs of the genus Rhizophora such as Rhizophora mangle, Ceriops tagal, or Ceriops candolleana. The wood from mangrove trees is primarily used for making charcoal. The bark and leaves are high in tannins (10 to 40%) and are used in preparing leather and dying cloth. Mangrove bark contains a tannin that is low in acids and insoluble residues. However, used by itself, it produces a reddish color leather that is harsh and stiff. Thus, it is usually mixed with other tannins such as wattle or quebracho. Mangrove bark is often but incorrectly referred to as cutch or kutch (Roberts and Etherington 1982).
