Many yield useful timber ; the resins of Clusia, Garcinia, Calophyllum, &c., and the fr. of Garcinia and others are valuable. Classification and chief genera (after Engler): the G. are closely allied to Theaceae, the only constant distinction being the presence of oil-glands, and to Dipterocarpaceae, which are chiefly distinguished by their alt. slip. 1.
