Seems fine to me, except that Jacquin is the author of J. tomentosa,
hence ideally it should be Avicennia tomentosa Jacq.

Apologies for the mistake.

Many thanks Pankaj for digging into Avicennia tomentosa.


Here are some of my observations:

unaccepted: Avicennia tomentosa Willd.
accepted : Avicennia officinalis L.
World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=235132

unaccepted: Avicennia tomentosa Jacq.
accepted : Avicennia germinans (L.) Stearn
World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=235126


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

... at other places

Avicennia tomentosa Willd.
FAO http://www.fao.org/forestry/mangrove/13129/en/

Avicennia germinans L. has no association with Avicennia tomentosa Jacq

Dinesh ji
I think for fixing correct names we should rely on Kew Plant List, GRIN and where needed IPNI. THe other websites will only confuse us.
    Unaccepted in not a proper word. We should use synonym.
    Avicennia tomentosa Willd., has perhaps never been published (as per IPNI and KEW List, both reliable). The synonym for Avicennia  officinalis L. is Avicennia officinalis f.tomentosa Kuntze 
    Avicennia tomentosa Jacq. is a totally distinct species, now considered as synonym of Avicennia germinans (L.) L.

... the words "unaccepted" and "accepted" are used only for sake of pursuing discussion ... not part of nomenclatural syntax.
Many thanks Gurcharan ji for sorting Avicennia tomentosa.
