Moraceae
The Moraceae — often called the mulberry family or fig family — are a family of flowering plants comprising about 38 genera and over 1100 species. Most are widespread in tropical and subtropical regions, less so in temperate climates; however, their distribution is cosmopolitan overall. The only synapomorphy within the Moraceae is presence of laticifers and milky sap in all parenchymatous tissues, but generally useful field characters include two carpels sometimes with one reduced, compound inconspicuous flowers, and compound fruits. The family includes well-known plants such as the fig, banyan, breadfruit, jackfruit, mulberry, and Osage orange. The 'flowers' of Moraceae are often pseudanthia (reduced inflorescences). Historical taxonomy Formerly included within the now defunct order Urticales, recent molecular studies have resulted in the family's placement within the Rosales in a clade called the urticalean rosids that also includes Ulmaceae, Celtidaceae, Cannabaceae, ...

Broussonetia
''Broussonetia'' is a genus of four species (including one hybrid species) of trees in the family Moraceae, native to eastern Asia. These four species have high-quality fiber which consist of more than 90% of cellulose. They are traditionally applied for various daily necessities in South Eastern Asia and papermaking in East Asia. One of these is the paper mulberry ''(Broussonetia papyrifera)'', whose bark fiber is used to make traditional paper in China, Korea, and Japan. This species has been widely introduced and has become invasive in some areas. Not only is paper mulberry used for paper making, but also other species are widely used in paper industry in those three country history. In fact, paper mulberry is not a major source of their traditional paper at least in Korea and Japan. Major material fibers of Hanji (Korean paper) and Washi (Japanese paper) come from '' Broussonetia × kazinoki''. ''Broussonetia × kazinoki'' is known as only hybrid in ''Broussonetia'' genu ...

Dorstenia
''Dorstenia'' is a genus within the mulberry family, Moraceae. Depending on the author, there are said to be 100 to 170 species within this genus, second only in number to the genus ''Ficus'' within Moraceae. ''Dorstenia'' species are mainly known for their unusual inflorescences and growth habits. ''Dorstenia'' is named in honor of the German physician and botanist Theodor Dorsten (1492–1552).Genaust, Helmut (1976). ''Etymologisches Wörterbuch der botanischen Pflanzennamen'' The type species is ''Dorstenia contrajerva''. Growth habit ''Dorstenia'' is unique in the family Moraceae because of the extremely diverse growth habits and forms of its species. While the majority of Moraceae are woody perennials, ''Dorstenia'' species are predominantly herbaceous, succulent, or suffrutescent perennials. Only 10% exhibit the typical woody habit of the Moraceae. The spectrum of the genus ''Dorstenia'' ranges from small annuals to perennial herbaceous plants with and without rhizomes ...

Germplasm Resources Information Network
Germplasm Resources Information Network or GRIN is an online USDA National Genetic Resources Program software project to comprehensively manage the computer database for the holdings of all plant germplasm collected by the National Plant Germplasm System. GRIN has extended its role to manage information on the germplasm reposits of insect (invertebrate), microbial, and animal species (see sub-projects). Description The site is a resource for identifying taxonomic information (scientific names) as well as common names on more than 500,000 accessions (distinct varieties, cultivars etc.) of plants covering 10,000 species; It gives 450,000 accessions (outdated; GRIN gives 500,000 as of June 2012). both economically important ones and wild species. It profiles plants that are invasive or noxious weeds, threatened or endangered, giving out data on worldwide distribution of its habitat; as well as passport information.

Trymatococcus
''Brosimum'' is a genus of plants in the family Moraceae, native to tropical regions of the Americas. The breadnut ('' B. alicastrum'') was used by the Maya civilization for its edible nut. The dense vividly colored scarlet wood of '' B. paraense'' is used for decorative woodworking.Baker (2004) '' B. guianense'', or snakewood, has a mottled snake-skin pattern, and is among the densest woods, with a very high stiffness; it was the wood of choice for making of bows for musical instruments of the violin family until the late 18th century, when it was replaced by the more easily worked brazilwood (''Paubrasilia echinata''). Plants of this genus are otherwise used for timber, building materials, and in a cultural context.

Trilepisium
''Trilepisium'', the urnfigs or false-figs, is a small Afrotropical genus of plants in family Moraceae. They grow to medium-sized or large trees that occur in evergreen and semi-deciduous forests, flooded forests or forest patches and often along rivers and streams, and at elevations of up to 2,000 m and over. Description The bole may be 60 cm wide, and is often fluted at the base. The smooth, grey bark is very lenticellate and exudes a cream-coloured latex when damaged. The yellowish to pinkish slash turns purple-red as it dries. They usually branch high up to form a small and loosely pyramidal crown with drooping twigs. Stipules of terminal buds eventually leave annular scars. The glossy and very dark elliptic leaves have a prominent driptip, and measure up to 14 cm long. They are glossy below, and have two small lobes at the base. The flowers appear in spring and are arranged in a whitish to mauve puff. The puff is about 1 cm in diameter, and consists of stam ...

Sloetia
''Sloetia'' is a monotypic genus (i.e. a genus that contains just one species) of plants in the mulberry family, Moraceae. The sole species is ''Sloetia elongata'', a tree native to southeastern Asia, ranging from the Nicobar Islands to Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Borneo, and Sulawesi. It has been described a number of times by different botanists, and thus has several synonyms. The plant produces white latex wherever it is cut. It is commonly known as "tampines tree" in Singapore, which is used as place names – Sungei Tampines river and Tampines Town are named after it. In Kuala Lumpur, the streets of a neighbourhood in Bangsar Bangsar is a residential suburb on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, lying about south-west of the city centre.

Malaisia (plant)
''Malaisia scandens'' (syn. ''Trophis scandens''), the burny vine or crow ash, is a species of large woody vines, constituting part of the Moraceae, fig plant family. They grow naturally in rainforests in Australia and Malesia. It is the only species in the genus ''Malaisia''. In Australia, they grow naturally from Mount Dromedary in coastal south–eastern New South Wales northwards through the eastern coastal regions to north Queensland, Cape York Peninsula and further across coastal regions of northern Australia in the Northern Territory and Western Australia. Botanists have recognised and described two subspecies, as follows, one endemic to Lord Howe Island offshore from New South Wales Australia and the type subspecies of mainland Australia and Malesia. *Malaisia scandens subsp. megacarpa, ''Malaisia scandens'' subsp.
