Enhalus is a monotypic genus of marine flowering plants.[5] The sole species is Enhalus acoroides. Enhalus is a large seagrass native to coastal waters of the tropical Indian and Western Pacific Oceans.[5] It is the only species of seagrass that does aerial surface pollination in which the pollen and the styles remain dry.[6] Enhalus is surface pollinated with male flowers that detach from the plant to float on the surface until they reach a female flower where pollination can occur.[5] Enhalus acoroides is considered a slow-growing, "climax" species.[7]
