What is Clusia?

Clusia is a family of clusiaceae. This genus has about 150 species and is a native of the tropics and subtropics of the United States. Bahamas, Florida Keys and Western India are a natural habitat of the genus. This genus consists of shrubs, vines and trees that have evergreen properties. These species grow to a maximum height of 50 feet (15 m). The roots of some species are also toxic, aggressive and competitive, and therefore fight for water against difficult chances very well. The conditions of similar drought can be carried for a long time. The whole family was named after the well -known botanist Carolus Clusius, which during the 16th century performed well -respected work in the field of botany. He lived in the Netherlands, and all the botanical names that start with clus are actually attached to him. Its flowers are white, yellow or pink with approximately four to nine petals. The fruit of this plant has a similar texture to leaves and has a brown color with many red, lumpy seeds inside.This fruit is of very poisonous nature and can cause great damage to people and animals. These plants are commonly used in dry flower decorations.

tree Clusia rosea is also referred to as an autograph or signature tree. It is an evergreen tree that provides enough shade and protection; However, it is best known for the fact that any writing on the leaves of this tree remains permanently etched on its leather surface. In some countries, these leaves are used as prinjim playing cards. At least one other species, clusia major , is also called autographs and is used to make play cards.

Some durable species, such as clusia rosea , have expanded rapidly, usually taken over the entire surrounding area. If they grow on another tree, they quickly overwhelm the host and eventually take over completely. The only way to shorten the massive spread is early detection and pulling outn while they are still small. If the trees have grown to maturity, it is very difficult to control the situation and stop the rapid reproduction.
