Maleae
The Maleae (incorrectly Pyreae) are the apple tribe in the rose family, Rosaceae. The group includes a number of plants bearing commercially important fruits, such as apples and pears, while others are cultivated as ornamentals. Older taxonomies separated some of this group as tribe Crataegeae,G. K. Schulze-Menz 1964. ''Reihe Rosales''. in ''A. Engler's Syllabus der Pflanzenfamilien mit besonderer Berücksichtigung der Nutzpflanzen nebst einer Übersicht über die Florenreiche und Florengebiete der Erde'', Gebrüder Borntraeger, Berlin as the Cydonia group (a tentative placement), or some genera were placed in family Quillajaceae. The tribe consists exclusively of shrubs and small trees. Most have pomes, a type of accessory fruit that does not occur in other Rosaceae. All except '' Vauquelinia'' (with 15 chromosomes) have a basal haploid chromosome count of 17, instead of 7, 8, or 9 as in the other Rosaceae. There are approximately 28 genera that contain about 1100 species worl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rosaceae
Rosaceae (), the rose family, is a family of flowering plants that includes 4,828 known species in 91 genera. The name is derived from the type genus '' Rosa''. The family includes herbs, shrubs, and trees. Most species are deciduous, but some are evergreen. They have a worldwide range but are most diverse in the Northern Hemisphere. Many economically important products come from the Rosaceae, including various edible fruits, such as apples, pears, quinces, apricots, plums, cherries, peaches, raspberries, blackberries, loquats, strawberries, rose hips, hawthorns, and almonds. The family also includes popular ornamental trees and shrubs, such as roses, meadowsweets, rowans, firethorns, and photinias. Among the most species-rich genera in the family are '' Alchemilla'' (270), '' Sorbus'' (260), ''Crataegus'' (260), '' Cotoneaster'' (260), '' Rubus'' (250), and ''Prunus'' (200), which contains the plums, cherries, peaches, apricots, and almonds.

Cydonia (plant)
The quince (; ''Cydonia oblonga'') is the sole member of the genus ''Cydonia'' in the Malinae subtribe (which contains apples, pears, and other fruits) of the Rosaceae family. It is a deciduous tree that bears hard, aromatic bright golden-yellow pome fruit, similar in appearance to a pear. Ripe quince fruits are hard, tart, and astringent. They are eaten raw or processed into jam, quince cheese, or alcoholic drinks. The quince tree is sometimes grown as an ornamental plant for its attractive pale pink blossoms and as a miniature bonsai plant. In ancient Greece, the word for quince was used ribaldly by poets such as Aristophanes to signify teenage breasts. Description Quinces are shrubs or small trees up to tall and wide. Young twigs are covered in a grey down. The leaves are oval, and are downy on the underside. The solitary flowers, produced in late spring after the leaves, are white or pink. The ripe fruit is aromatic but remains hard; gritty stone cells are dispersed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It is a deciduous tree growing to (rarely to ) tall with a trunk up to diameter, though it can also be a shrub tall on exposed sites. The bark is brown, smooth on young trees, becoming fissured and flaky on old trees. The winter buds are green, with a sticky, resinous coating. The leaves are long, pinnate with 13–21 leaflets long and broad, with a bluntly acute apex, and a serrated margin on the outer half or two thirds of the ...

Aria (plant)
''Aria'' is a genus of plant in the rose family Rosaceae. It includes some of the deciduous species commonly known as whitebeams, and is native to Europe, the north African mountains and western Asia. Via hybridisation with related genera, it is a main contributor to the genesis of a complex of apomicts of intergeneric hybrid origin, which are also commonly referred to as whitebeams. Description Whitebeams of the genus ''Aria'' are small to medium-sized bushes or trees. The leaves are simple and almost white on the underside. The leaf margins are often serrated. While some species such as common whitebeam ('' Aria edulis'') may grow into sizeable trees of up to height, many species (such as rock whitebeam, '' Aria rupicola'') stay bushy. They bear corymbs of white flowers in spring, and the small, colourful pome fruits ripen in late summer. Whitebeam apomicts Hybridisation events between at least one member of genus ''Aria'' and at least one member of at least one differ ...

Vauquelinia
''Vauquelinia'', commonly known as the rosewoods, is a genus of the rose family, Rosaceae. It consists of two species of shrubs found in the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. The genus was named for French chemist Louis Nicolas Vauquelin (1763-1829). The nectar provided by these plants is commonly fed on by wasps such as ''Polistes instabilis''. '' V. californica'' is of some interest as an ornamental. Taxonomy ''Vauquelinia'', along with '' Lindleya'' and '' Kageneckia'' were formerly placed in family Quillajaceae, and have dry dehiscent fruit.
