Urticaceae - Nettle Family (214 words)
Urticaceae is a small family in Montana, with only 4 species.
In Urticaceae, the plant grows as a large main stem, the leaves are in opposite pairs, and the flowers concentrate in clusters from the leaf axils.
The flowers do not have petals; male flowers have a 4-lobed calyx and 4 stamens - the female flowers are either 4-lobed or 2-lobed and have a pistil that produces a single seed.
Rosales (5168 words)
In the past, Urticales (Urticaceae, Moraceae, etc.) were kept well separate from Rosaceae, largely because of the very reduced and usually winf-pollinated flowers of the former group, and the other families now included in Rosales were usually placed elsewhere yet again.
Barbeyaceae + Dirachmaceae + Rhamnaceae + Elaeagnaceae + Ulmaceae + Cannabaceae + Moraceae + Urticaceae: trans-spliced intron in nad1 gene [cis-spicing elsewhere].
Urticaceae are variable in habit but have stipulate leaves with boxy venation.
