Nypa

Sundri and gewa cover most of the Sundarbans but Oryza coarctata, Nypa fruticans, and Imperata cylindrica are prevalent on mud flats.

Sundarbans, Bangladesh 2009

Nearby, a worm-bored log was found of a species resembling the mangrove palm Nypa fruticans, a plant of southeast Asia, which suggests that the Eocene climate in the area was humid and warm.

Wadi Al-Hitan (Whale Valley), Egypt 2008

In areas with a substantial freshwater influence, Nypa palms dominate.

Sunda Shelf mangroves 2008

Five mangrove communities have been described: Avicennia/Sonneratia community, Rhizophora-dominated community, Bruguiera-dominated forest, Nypa-dominated forests, and Landward mixed mangrove forest.

Lorentz National Park, Indonesia 2008

There are five major mangrove types, or consociations, recognized in this region, based on the dominant species of Avicennia, Rhizophora, Sonneratia, Bruguiera, and Nypa.

Where there is substantial freshwater influence within the mangrove, stands of Nypa fruticans develop.

New Guinea mangroves 2007

The Galley Reach CPD contains mangrove, lowland swamp, and Nypa communities.

Southeastern Papuan rain forests 2007

Five species of mangroves in three families are found in this region, including the red mangroves, Rhizophora racemosa, R. mangle, and R. harrisonii, and the white mangroves Avicennia germinans and Laguncularia racemosa, as well as an introduced species, Nypa fruticans.

A simpler description of zonation of the nearby Fly River mangroves is given by Robertson et al. In this zonation there are three zones as one moves inland: a Sonneratia-Avicennia zone on actively accreting shores, a Rhizophora-Bruguiera zone where salinities generally are greater than 10 percent (subdominant species include B. gymnorrhiza, Avicennia marina, Ceriops decandro, and Heritiera littoralis), and a Nypa zone.

Nypa fruticans may form vast monotypic stands, but the Nypa zone also includes Xylocarpus granatum and Heritiera littoralis.
