Rosales (5491 words) |
 | In the past, Urticales (Urticaceae, Moraceae, etc.) were kept well separate from Rosaceae, largely because of the very reduced and usually wind-pollinated flowers of the former group, and the other families now included in Rosales were usually placed elsewhere yet again. |
| Moraceae are laticiferous plants with stipulate leaves and often boxy fine venation; the flowers are small and densely aggregated; the inflorescence axis is often large, becoming much accrescent and ± fleshy in fruit. |
| Caterpillars of danaine butterflies quite commonly use Moraceae as food plants; both they and their usually preferred Apocynaceae are rich in latex, although Moraceae do not often have cardenolides (Ackery and Vane-Wright 1984). |
