Clusia grandiflora - MHNT. Clusia is the type genus of the plant family Clusiaceae. Comprising 300-400 species, it is native to the Neotropics. The genus is named by Carl Linnaeus in honor of the botanist Carolus Clusius.

Self-pruning is the shedding of branches that are shaded or diseased, which are potentially a drain on the resources of the tree.
