Just outside Moreton Bay Ramsar wetlands boundary.

Growing just within the marine couch-Casuarina forest zone, where tides are infrequent. The substrate is reasonably soft and groundwater seepage is available.

Surprised to find this specimen, as White-flowered Black Mangroves are rare on Redland's mainland coast.
This may be the southernmost limit of their range on the mainland at the present time. Climate change could impact this species - it has little option to move inland with rising sea-level (due to human infrastructure barriers); it remains to be seen if it is able to migrate southwards.

However, this locality has proven to be fertile ground for the species, with more members being identified nearby.
I have previously encountered only one member of this species (in Geoff Skinner Wetlands), not far to the north.
