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. [BH. excl. Hypericoideae with Endodesmioideae as a separate fam.] I. KIELMEYEROIDEAE (1. alt. or opp.; fls. usu. 5, A oo, style i, G 3—5-loc.): Kielmeyera, Caraipa. II. HYPERICOIDEAE (1. opp.; fl. 5 ; sta. usu. oo, usu. in 5 or 3—8 bundles before the petals; styles 3—5, usu. free; fr. a i- or 3-loc. septi- or loculicidal caps., or indeh.; embryo usu. straight with not very thick cots.): Hypericum, Vismia. III. ENDODESMIOIDEAE (sta. united into a tube above, in 5 bundles below; cpl. i; drape ; cots, fleshy): Endo- desmia (only genus). IV. CALOPHYLLOIDEAE (1. opp.; fls. $ or <f ?, A oo free or united at base, G i—4 each with 2—i ov.; fr. indeh.; cots, thick) : Mesua, Mammea, Calophyllum. V. CLUSIOIDEAE (i opp.; fls. 5 or <f ?, A oo free or in groups ; fr. various; cots, small): Clusia, Garcinia. Guya Frapp. Flacourtiaceae
