Once upon a time, in the vast rainforests of Southeast Asia, there existed a unique family of plants known as Clusiaceae. These plants were famous for their beautiful and fragrant flowers, which attracted various insects and birds. However, one particular member of the Clusiaceae family, called the Garcinia plant, had a secret power.
Legend has it that the Garcinia plant possessed magical properties that could turn anything it touched into gold. Many adventurers sought after this plant, hoping to acquire its incredible power and wealth. However, the Garcinia plant was not easily found. It grew deep within the dense forests, hidden from sight.
One brave and determined explorer named John set out on a perilous journey to find the Garcinia plant. He braved treacherous terrain, battled dangerous creatures, and overcame countless obstacles. After months of searching, John stumbled upon the Garcinia plant, shimmering in the sunlight.
Filled with excitement, John reached out to touch the plant, hoping to fulfill his wildest dreams of wealth. But, to his surprise, the plant had a surprise in store for him. Instead of turning into gold, John was enveloped in a warm and loving energy. He realized that the true magic of the Garcinia plant was not in material wealth but in the happiness and contentment it brought to those who discovered it.
From that day forward, John dedicated his life to preserving the Clusiaceae family and sharing the story of the Garcinia plant. He believed that true riches lie in the beauty of nature and the joy it brings to our lives. And so, the tale of Clusiaceae and the miraculous Garcinia plant continues to inspire and enchant all who hear it.

Short Description
The Clusiaceae or Guttiferae Juss. (1789) (nom. alt. et cons. = alternative and valid name) are a family of plants including 13 genera and ca 750 species. Several former members of Clusiacae are now placed in Calophyllaceae and Hypericaceae. They are mostly trees and shrubs, with milky sap and fruits or capsules for seeds. The family is primarily tropical. More so than many plant families, it shows large variation in plant morphology (for example, three to 10, fused or unfused petals, and many other traits). According to the APG III, this family belongs to the order Malpighiales.
One feature which is sometimes found in this family, and rarely in others (e.g., Malpighiaceae), is providing pollinators with “pollination rewards” other than pollen or nectar; specifically, some species offer resin, which certain bees use in nest construction (each Clusiaceae species offers only one type of reward).
