Concentrations of two iridoid glucosides (2-cinnamoyl mussaenosidic acid and 2-caffeoyl mussaenosidic acid) were measured in different populations of several Avicennia species. The results obtained for 2-cinnamoyl mussaenosidic acid seem to confirm the recognition of infraspecific taxa in A. marina and also in A. germinans (africana (palaeotropic) and germinans (neotropic)).
