CLUSIACEM, 413 



In 1789 A.-L. de Jussieu ^ established the family of Guttiferce, 

 which he placed between the St. John's Worts and Oranges. Beside 

 the new genera Glusia, Garcinia, Tovomita, Quapoya, Moronohea, 

 Mammea, Mesua, Bheedia, and Galophyllum, which belong to it, he 

 placed seven foreign types, viz. : Grias of the Myrtacece,"^ Valeria 

 and Vatica of the Bijpterocarpece^ Allophyllus of the Sapindacece and 

 Elceocarpus of the Tiliacece] and in addition the three genera of 

 AuBLET, Macahanea,^ Macoubea,^ and Singana^^ the place of which 

 is still to be found, as also that of several types imperfectly known, ^ 

 erroneously attributed to the Glusiacece, Later/ he further added 

 Venana^ now referred, under the name of Brexia, to the Saxifragacece. 

 From 1822 to 1824, Choisy,^ who on several occasions devoted him- 

 self to the study of the Guttiferce, included among them Havetia of 

 KuNTH, Ochrocarpus of Dupetit-Thouars, with a certain number of 

 Ternstroemiacece and Canella. In 1828 Cambessedes,^ taking in 

 hand the study of the genera constituting the group of Guttiferce, 

 reduced them to ten,^^ viz. : Tovomlta, Clusia, 'Havetia^ Moronohea, 

 Ghrysopea [Symphonia), Mamwea, Bheedia, Garcinia, Mesua, and 

 Galophyllum. By Endlicher ^^ were added to it Pentadesma of Don, 

 Kayea of Wallich, and Platonia of Martius, wrongly referred to 

 Canellacece}^ In 1836 Lindley^^ gave to the family the name of 

 Clusiaceoe. Besides the types enumerated above, he placed in it 

 Chrysochlamys and Bengifa of Poeppig, Beuggeria of Martius, and 

 Galysaccion of Wight. In 1849 Choisy,^^ treating of the Indian 

 Guttiferce, admits the same genera, and adds Gochlanthera, The 

 number of generic types is still more considerable, for it amounts to
