Aegiceras corniculatum grows as a shrub or small tree up to {{convert|7|m}} high, though often considerably less. Its leaves are alternate, obovate, {{convert|30|â€“|100|mm}} long and {{convert|15|â€“|50|mm}} wide, entire, leathery and minutely dotted. Its fragrant, small, white flowers are produced as umbellate clusters of 10â€“30, with a peduncle up to 10 mm long and with pedicels {{convert|10|â€“|18|mm}} long. The calyx is {{convert|2|â€“|4|mm}} long and corolla {{convert|4|-|6|mm}} long. The fruit is curved and cylindrical or horn-shaped, light green to pink in colour and {{convert|20|â€“|75|mm}} long. It grows in mud in estuaries and tidal creeks, often at the seaward edge of the mangrove zone.JOURNAL,www.um.es/analesdebiologia/numeros/31/PDF/31_2009_14.pdf, Neha Tusharbhai Patel, Amar Nath Pandey, Salinity tolerance of Aegiceras corniculatum (L.) Blanco from Gujarat coasts of India, Anales de BiologÃa, 31, 93â€“104, 2009, The species is of interest to many moths, including species from the genera Anarsia, Archips and Phyllocnistis, as well as the species Darna trima, Gonodontis clelia and Neurozerra conferta.
