It doesn't appear to be Avicennia officinalis as leaves are different. Can it be Avicennia marina as per links like?: http://www.mangroves.godrej.com/GodrejNew/Templates/CommonLinks/Environment/MangroveVegetation.htm#MangroveVegetation, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avicennia_marina, http://www.answers.com/topic/avicennia-marina-1 & http://www.lhccrems.nsw.gov.au/CPR/CPR/plant_profiles/a.marina.htm
