List of Clusiaceae genera
Delineation of plant family Clusiaceae , and the subdivisions within the family, have been much revised over the past few decades.
Accepted genera
18 genera are currently accepted:[ 1]
Classification
The family Clusiaceae was divided by Cronquist into 2 subfamilies : the Clusioideae (typical subfamily) and the Hypericoideae. The latter was often treated as a family - the Hypericaceae or St. John's wort family . Elements of the Hypericoideae are more common in North temperate areas and those of the Clusioideae are centered in the Tropics .
Later classifications however divide the family in a finer way. The taxonomy below mostly follows that of Stevens.[ 2] [ 3] Molecular studies have shown that the family Podostemaceae - the riverweeds - as well as the Theaceae-segregate Bonnetiaceae need to be included in this group. Their inclusions make Clusiaceae in a wide-sense polyphyletic, and Stevens's subfamilies need to be recognised at family level: Clusioideae as Clusiaceae sensu stricto; Hypericoideae as Hypericaceae ; and Kielmeyeroideae as Calophyllaceae .[ 4]
