Conocarpus is a genus of two species of flowering plants in the family Combretaceae, native to tropical regions of the world. One of the species is a widespread mangrove species, and the other is restricted to a small area around the southern Red Sea coasts, where it grows alongside seasonal rivers.
They are dense multiple-trunked shrubs or small to medium-sized trees from 1 to 20 m tall.
The generic name is derived from the Greek words κονος (konos), meaning "cone" and καρπος (karpos) meaning "fruit".[2]
