Eight and nine of microsatellite loci were isolated from two nonviviparous mangrove species, Acanthus ilicifolius and Lumnitzera racemosa , respectively. The number of alleles per locus ranged from two to eight in A. ilicifolius and two to nine in L. racemosa . The observed heterozygosities ranged from 0.200 to 0.875 in A. ilicifolius and from 0.025 to 0.350 in L. racemosa . These loci would be effective for analysing genetic diversity and population genetic structure of these two mangrove species.
