Calophyllaceae belongs to the order Malpighiales. It is also known as a family of flowering plants in the order Malpighiales.
The Calophyllaceae is a family of tropical and subtropical flowering plants, comprising mostly evergreen trees and shrubs with leathery leaves, fragrant flowers, and often resinous or latex-rich tissues. These plants are typically found in lowland rainforests or coastal environments, where they contribute to ecological stability and local biodiversity.
Several species are valued for their fruit, timber, or medicinal properties. A notable example is Mammea americana, commonly known as the mammee apple or mamey. Native to the Caribbean and Central America, this large tree produces round, aromatic fruits with thick skin and juicy, apricot-like flesh. The fruit is consumed fresh or used in preserves and beverages, while the seeds and bark have been employed in traditional medicine and pest control.
