Clusiaceae

Belongs within: Malpighiales.

The Clusiaceae are a family of mostly tropical plants, historically known as the Guttiferae in reference to resins produced by many species. Past treatments of the family have included taxa now separated as the families Hypericaceae and Calophyllaceae. Remaining members of the Clusiaceae have opposite, exstipulate leaves and flowers with a short style or sessile stigma.

Notable members of the family include the mangosteen Garcinia mangostana, grown for its sweet fruit. The fruit of the Malabar tamarind G. gummi-gutta is used to impart a sour taste to curries. Clusia is a Neotropical genus with a fasciculate androecium and fruits as a fleshy capsule with arillate seeds.
