Pollination Biology of Symphonia globulifera (Clusiaceae) in central French Guiana (2462 words)
(Clusiaceae) have not clearly established the relative importance of hummingbirds and perching birds in the pollination of this species.
This hypothesis is supported by the observation of small "euphonia-like" birds visiting the flowers of Moronobea coccinea Aublet (vouchered by Mori and Boom 15266 at CAY and NY).
(Clusiaceae) in a lowland rain forest in Costa Rica.
PBIO 450 Lecture Notes - Dilleniidae -- Spring 1999 (831 words)
This family of rather highly specialized individuals is related to the hypericoid members of the Clusiaceae, having a common seed and stem anatomy (Takhtajan 1997).
The highly specialized nature of the plant, and Cronquist's suggestion that the relationship between Clusiaceae and Elatinaceae "is more likely collateral" and probably reflects some "sort of close parallelism" is supported by associating the two in different orders.
Cronquist (1981) divides Clusiaceae (also known as the nomenclaturally acceptable, alternative name Guttiferae) into two subfamilies, the Clusioideae Burnett with some 33 genera and 500 species found mainly in tropical regions and the more temperate Hypericoideae Choisy with some nine genera and 550 species.
