After screening of herbarium specimens and the results of field expeditions, the morphological characters and distribution of Chritisonia lawii are within the range of C. calcarata. As a result, it is reduced to C. calcarata.

Quadrats of 10 m x 10 m were laid in the study area. The parameters such as density, frequency and abundance were calculated. During quadrat analysis, the digital images of the plants have been taken show the habit, habitat, flowers, fruits and other pre-diagnostic characters. The present study reports 11 true mangroves and 15 mangrove associates from the district. Developmental and anthropogenic activities, grazing, industrialisation are the main threat s to the mangroves of the Raigad district. The present study would suggest some remedial measures for the conservation of mangroves in the Raigad district.
