This genus is closely related to and rather difficult to distinguish from the genus Ficus.
They are all laticiferous trees and a few shrubs, of which the leaves, the twigs and the stem can produce a milky sap. The coniferous Coast Redwood, the tallest tree species on earth A tree can be defined as a large, perennial, woody plant. ...

The trees are monoecious, with unisexual flowers, with both sexes on the same plant. The small, greenish, female flowers grow on short, fleshy spikes. After pollination they grow into a syncarpous fruit, which can become very large. The ovary is superior. The stipulated leaves vary from small and entire (Artocarpus integer) to large and lobed (Artocarpus odoratissimus). The cordate leaves of Artocarpus communis end in a long, sharp tip. Plant sexuality deals with the wide variety of sexual reproduction systems found across the plant kingdom. ...

Several species in the genus bear edible fruit and are commonly cultivated: Artocarpus communis (Breadfruit), Artocarpus champeden (Cempedak), Artocarpus heterophyllus (Jackfruit) and Artocarpus odoratissima (Marang). In the most recent revision of Artocarpus, the highly variable species Artocarpus communis contains the following three species of breadfruit : Artocarpus altilis, Artocarpus mariannensis and Artocarpus camansi.

The name 'Artocarpus' is derived from the Greek words 'artos' ( = bread) and 'karpos' ( = fruit). This name was established by Johann Reinhold Forster and J. Georg Adam Forster, the father and son team of botanist aboard the HMS Resolution on James Cook's second voyage. Johann Reinhold Forster (October 22, 1729 - December 9, 1798) was a Polish born naturalist of German descent. ...

Breadfruit and jackfruit are cultivated widely in the tropical SE Asia. Other species are cultivated locally for their timber, fruit or edible seeds.
Species
Recent phylogenetic research, based on leaf arrangement, leaf anatomical characters and stipules, indicates that there are at least two subgenera in Artocarpus : - subgenus Artocarpus : perianth of fruit is partially connate
- subgenus Pseudojaca : perianth entirely connate.
The genus Prainea is closely allied to the subgenus Pseudojaca, and some researchers treat it as a third subgenus of Artocarpus. The following list still follows the traditional line.
 Marang ( Artocarpus odoratissimus) - Artocarpus altilis - (included in A. communis)
- Artocarpus camansi - (included in A. communis)
- Artocarpus communis - Breadfruit, Antipolo, Camansi, Anubing; see also African Breadfruit)
- Artocarpus champeden - Cempedak
- Artocarpus elasticus - Bendo
- Artocarpus heterophyllus - Nangka, Jackfruit
- Artocarpus hirsutus - Angily, Angelin, Hirsute Artocarpus
- Artocarpus lingnanensis
- Artocarpus mariannensis - (included in A. communis)
- Artocarpus nitidus - Jackfruit
- Artocarpus odoratissimus - Marang
- Artocarpus rigidus - Monkey Jack
- Artocarpus tamaran
