The Sundarbans mangrove forests of the Ganga delta are named after the tree

The Sundarbans, the largest mangrove forest in the world, take their name from the Sundari tree (Heritiera fomes), which thrives in saline tidal water. Teak and Sal are deciduous trees of drier, inland forests, and Deodar is a Himalayan coniferous tree. The region is the home of the Royal Bengal tiger.
