Baobab [same genus as in Africa & Madagascar] :  
genus _Adansonia_, family Bombacaceae

Mangrove : there are plants of many families in the mangrove vegetation type 
but   genus _Rhizophora_,  family  Rhizophoraceae is the one that first comes 
to mind when one says "mangrove tree".  

Fig:  genus _Ficus_, family Moraceae  [ a very large widespread genus 
including the edible fig from the Mediterranean region]

Your best best is HORTUS 3 - mine's out of date.  There's always the 
public library - there must be guides to the flora.
