Species

FAMILY GUTTIFERAE
✓ Clusiaceae, the garcinia family (order
Malpighiales), comprising about 14 genera and some
800 species of tropical trees and shrubs.

✓ Several former members of Clusiacae are now

placed in Calophyllaceae and Hypericaceae.

3
FAMILY GUTTIFERAE
✓ Members of the Clusiaceae family usually have
broad-ended oblong leaves; these may be leathery
and have a strong central vein from which branch
many delicate horizontal veins.

✓ They are mostly trees and shrubs, with milky sap

and fruits or capsules for seeds.

4
FAMILY GUTTIFERAE
✓ The plants have resinous sticky sap, flowers with
numerous stamens often united in bundles, and
separate petals and sepals.

✓ The family Clusiaceae was divided by Cronquist

into two subfamilies: the Clusioideae (typical
subfamily) and the Hypericoideae.

5
FAMILY GUTTIFERAE
✓ The latter was often treated as a family—the
Hypericaceae or St. John's wort family.

✓ Elements of the Hypericoideae are more

common in northern temperate areas and those of
the Clusioideae are centered in the tropics.

6
FAMILY GUTTIFERAE
✓ The Guttiferae family produces several antiviral
compounds, and species of the Hypericum genus
have long been used in traditional medicine.

✓ Extracts and isolated compounds from plants of

the Hypericum genus are commonly used for the
treatment of viral infections.

Calophyllum inophyllum,
Kamani. The floral buds
show some hint of the
imbricate sepals, while the
open flowers reveal petals,
fascicled yellow stamens
in five bundles, and pistils
with pink ovaries.

9

cone-shaped tree native to
India to Malaya, with

are otherwise typical for the
family.

dicotyledonous plants placed within the order
Myrtales.

✓ All species are woody, contain essential oils, and

have flower parts in multiples of four or five.

13
 FAMILY MYRTACEAE
✓ The myrtle family (Myrtaceae) contains about 150
genera and 3,300 species of trees and shrubs. Its members
are widely distributed in the tropics and characteristically
feature leathery leaves with oil glands.

✓Several are useful as spices, and a number of species are

economically important as timber trees.

14
 FAMILY MYRTACEAE
✓The vast majority of species in Myrtales are shrubs and
trees of the tropics and subtropics. Some of the most
important sources of pulp and timber in these areas, such as
Eucalyptus, belong to the order.

15
FAMILY MYRTACEAE
✓ Scientists hypothesize that the family Myrtaceae arose
between sixty and fifty-six million years ago during the
Paleocene era.

✓ Species of the myrtle family provide many valuable

products, including timber, essential oils and horticultural
plants.

SAPOTACEAE
✓ The Sapotaceae are a family of flowering plants belonging to
the order Ericales. The family includes about 800 species of
evergreen trees and shrubs in around 65 genera.

the production of Gutta percha, chicle (chewing) gum, timber,
edible flowers, fruits, and oil seeds.

22
 FAMILY
SAPOTACEAE
✓ Many species produce edible fruits, or white blood-sap that is
used to cleanse dirt, organically and manually, while others have
other economic uses.

✓The family name is derived from zapote, a Mexican vernacular

name for one of the plants and Latinised by Linnaeus as sapota,
a name now treated as a synonym of Manilkara.
