|
| 1 - China |
| Includes Taiwan, Province of China. |
| 2 - Ecuador |
| Excludes the Galapagos, which the original source lists separately as having 4 mangrove species. |
| 3 - Singapore |
| The species list available for Singapore is based on relatively old data, therefore it is likely that many of these species are now extinct in this country. |
