Clusia plants provide excellent nesting sites for some insects. For instance, Clusia grandiflora , a common species in Guianese forests, is an attractive place for Polistes pacificus wasps to build their paper nests because arboreal ants, which often prey on these wasps, do not normally reside in this species of tree.
The Clusiaceae or Guttiferae Juss. (1789) (nom. alt. et cons. = alternative and valid name) are a family of plants including 13 genera and ca 750 species. [3] Several former members of Clusiacae are now placed in Calophyllaceae and Hypericaceae.
Clusia rosea is a tree native to the Caribbean, including the Bahamas, Hispaniola (such as in Los Haitises National Park), Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Florida. [7] [8]It is a hemiepiphyte; that is, it grows as an epiphyte on rocks or other trees at the start of its life and behaving like a strangler fig as it gets larger.
Agronomic studies often focus on the above-ground part of plant biomass, and consider crop growth rates rather than individual plant growth rates. Nonetheless there is a strong corollary between the two approaches. More specifically, the ULR as discussed above shows up in crop growth analysis as well, as: = . = .
It is a small to medium-sized tree, growing from 13 to 82 feet (4.0 to 25.0 meters) in height.The crown is slender and sometimes spreading. The trunk can measure at least 11.8 inches (30 centimeters) in diameter.
Clusia orthoneura, the cape, is a species of flowering plant in the family Clusiaceae. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is native to Colombia. [ 3 ] An epiphytic shrub reaching 1.2 to 2.4 m (4 to 8 ft), it is recommended as a houseplant.
Clusia clusioides is species of flowering plant in the family Clusiaceae. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It is a small tree which that is native to Puerto Rico and Hispaniola . One characteristic are the opposite, very thick leaves.
Clusia major is a tropical plant species in the genus Clusia.The name Clusia major is sometimes misapplied to the more widely distributed species Clusia rosea, which, however has petiolate (versus virtually sessile), very dark (versus bright) green leaves that are widest just below the apex (versus near the middle), and 8 (versus 5) stigmas.
