A genus of tropical trees and plants known for their thick, leathery leaves and their ability to grow without soil.
Named after Carolus Clusius, a 16th-century botanist. The genus was formally designated in botanical nomenclature to honor his contributions to plant science.
Clusia plants are botanical rebels—they're epiphytes, meaning they grow on other trees without harming them, and some species can photosynthesize using either sunlight or artificial light. They're practically alien plants adapting to rainforest life in creative ways.
