"Sonneratia" is a genus of plants in the family Lythraceae. Formerly the Sonneratia were placed in a family called Sonneratiaceae which included both the "Sonneratia" and the "Duabanga", but these two are now placed in their own monotypic subfamilies of the family "Lythraceae". The genus was also named "Blatti" by James Edward Smith, but "Sonneratia" had botanical nomenclature priority.
