See text. Plants are living Organisms belonging to the kingdom Plantae. The flowering plants or angiosperms ( Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta) are the most widespread group Dicotyledons, or "dicots", is a name for a group of Flowering plants whose Seed typically has two embryonic leaves or Cotyledons There For other meanings see Rosales (disambiguation. Rosales is an order of Flowering plants including nine families Johann Heinrich Friedrich Link ( February 2, 1767 - January 1, 1850) was a German naturalist and Botanist.

Moraceae is a family of flowering plants commonly known as the mulberry or fig family. The flowering plants or angiosperms ( Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta) are the most widespread group It comprises about 40 genera and over 1000 species of plants widespread in tropical and subtropical regions, less common in temperate climates. The only synapomorphy within Moraceae is presence of lactifers and milky sap in all parenchymatous tissues, but generally useful field characters include 2 carpels sometimes with 1 reduced, compound inconspicuous flowers, and compound fruits. In Evolutionary biology, a synapomorphy is a derived Character state shared by two or more terminal groups ( taxa included in a Cladistic analysis [1] Included are well-known plants such as the fig, banyan, breadfruit, mulberry, and osage-orange. Ficus is a Genus of about 850 Species of woody Trees Shrubs Vines Epiphytes and hemi-epiphytes in the family A banyan is a fig that starts its life as an Epiphyte when its Seeds germinate in the cracks and crevices on a host Tree (or on structures like Breadfruit ( Artocarpus altilis) is a Tree and Fruit native to the Malay Peninsula and western Pacific islands The species is dioeceous, with male and female Flowers on different plants The 'flowers' of Moraceae are often pseudanthia (reduced inflorescences). A pseudanthium (Greek false flower is a special type of Inflorescence, in which several Flowers are grouped together to form a flower-like structure

Classification

Formerly positioned within the now defunct order Urticales, recent genetic studies have resulted in its placement within Rosales in a clade called the urticalean rosids that also includes Ulmaceae, Celtidaceae, Cannabaceae and Urticaceae. Ulmaceae is a family of flowering plant that includes the Elms (genus Ulmus) and the Zelkovas (genus Zelkova) For the German Renaissance scholar see Conrad Celtes. For the town see Celtis Missouri. Cannabaceae is a small family of Flowering plants According to the Royal Botanical Gardens database there are 170 species grouped in nine to fifteen Urticaceae, or the nettle family is a family of Flowering plants The family name comes from the genus Urtica (nettles Cecropia, which were variously placed in the Moraceae, the Urticaceae, or an own family Cecropicaceae, have turned out to belong in the Urticaceae. This article is about the tropical plant It is also an old name for the Acropolis Athens. [2]

Moraceae includes 5 tribes: Artocarpeae, Moreae, Dorstenieae, Ficeae, and Castilleae. With the exception of Moreae, which is large, morphologically diverse, and has a wide geographic distribution, these tribes are monophyletic. [3] Based on molecular analyses of the phylogeny of these tribes, Moraceae is thought to have diverged 73-110 mya (unit). In Astronomy, Geology, and Paleontology, mya or " mya " is an abbreviation for "million years ago". [4] Results from molecular analyses of Moraceae phylogeny have also suggested that contrary to the conventional principle that dioecy evolves from monoecy, dioecy was the primitive state in Moraceae and monoecy evolved within in it up to four times.
