Avicennia marina ssp. eucalyptifolia - undersides of leaves

Avicennia has been problematic with respect to placement in a family. Formerly in Verbenaceae, it was for a while given its own family Avicenniaceae, but now under APG II and III it is in Acanthaceae. The flowers seem nothing like typical Acanthaceae to me.
