}}The Combretaceae, often called the white mangrove family, are a family of flowering plants in the order Myrtales. The family includes about 530 species of trees, shrubs, and lianas in ca 10 genera.JOURNAL, Christenhusz, M. J. M., Byng, J. W., amp, 2016, The number of known plants species in the world and its annual increase, Phytotaxa, 261, 201â€“217,biotaxa.org/Phytotaxa/article/download/phytotaxa.261.3.1/20598, 10.11646/phytotaxa.261.3.1, 3, free, The family includes the leadwood tree, Combretum imberbe. Three genera, Conocarpus, Laguncularia, and Lumnitzera, grow in mangrove habitats (mangals).WEB,www.mangrovewatch.org.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=38&Itemid=300170, Lumnitzera, University of Queensland, 30 June 2010, The Combretaceae are widespread in the subtropics and tropics. Some members of this family produce useful construction timber, such as idigbo from Terminalia ivorensis. The commonly cultivated Quisqualis indica (as well as the entire former genus Quisqualis) is now placed in the genus Combretum. Many plants in the former Quisqualis genus contain the excitotoxin quisqualic acid, a potent AMPA agonist.JOURNAL, Munir, Muhammad, Lu, Lisha, McGonigle, Paul, 1995, Excitotoxic cell death and delayed rescue in human neurons derived from NT2 cells, Journal of Neuroscience, 15, 12, 7847â€“7860, 10.1523/JNEUROSCI.15-12-07847.1995,www.jneurosci.org/content/jneuro/15/12/7847.full.pdf,
