摘要： Rhizophora stylosa, Heritiera littoralis and Lumnitzera racemosa are the new records of geographical distribution of the mangrove floristic composition in the coast district of east Guangdong. In the mangrove of this coast district, there are 13 families, 20 genera, 20 species, making up 24% of the total species of mangrove of the world, ess than Hainan Island but almost equal to west Guangdong.
