CLUSIACEjE. 413 



In 1789 A.-L. de Jtjssieu' established the family o£ Outtiferce, 

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

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

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

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

 and Vatica of the Dipterocarpece, Allophyllus of the Sapindacece and 

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

 Atjblet, 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, Choist,* who on several occasions devoted him- 

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

 KuNTH, Oehrocarpus of Dupetit-Thoxtaes, with a certain number of 

 TernstroemiacecB and Canella. In 1828 Cambessedes," taking in 

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

 reduced them to ten,^" viz. : Tovomita, Clusia, Havetia, Moronohea, . 

 Ohrysopea {^Symphonia), Mammea, Bheedia, Oarcinia, Mesua, and 

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

 Kayea of "Wallich, and Platonia of Maetitts, wrongly referred to 

 Canellacece}^ In 1836 Lindlet'^* gave to the family the name of 

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

 Ghrysochlamys and Bengifa of Pcbppig, Beuggeria of Maetius, and 

 Galysaccion of Wight. In 1849 Choist,'* treating of the Indian 

 Outtiferce, admits the same genera, and adds Gochlanthera. The 

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