Knowra Rosaceae Rosaceae Rosaceae is a family of flowering plants that includes roses, apples, pears, strawberries, cherries, and almonds. Its members range from herbs to shrubs and trees.
Flower : The reproductive structure of flowering plants, typically containing organs that produce pollen and ovules. Rosaceae flowers share arrangements of petals, stamens, and carpels used to recognize the family.
Apple : The edible fruit of Malus domestica, a tree cultivated worldwide. Apples are major pome fruits produced by a rosaceous crop.
Rosales : An order of flowering plants that includes Rosaceae, Urticaceae, and several other families. Rosaceae is one of the principal families classified within this order.
Rosa : A genus of flowering shrubs that includes the cultivated roses and their wild relatives. It anchors the family’s ornamental identity and gives Rosaceae its name.
Hypanthium : A floral cup formed by the fusion or close union of the bases of sepals, petals, and stamens. This cup is conspicuous in many rosaceous flowers and influences how their fruits develop.
Pear : The edible fruit of trees in the genus Pyrus. Pears are another widely cultivated pome crop in the family.
Fabaceae : A flowering-plant family that includes legumes such as beans, peas, and clovers. It is another species-rich eudicot family, but its flowers and fruits differ markedly.
Malus : A genus of trees and shrubs that includes the domesticated apple and crabapples. Its species demonstrate the family’s pome-bearing trees and domestication history.
Carpel : The flower part that encloses ovules and develops into a fruit after fertilization. Carpel number and fusion help distinguish fruit types across Rosaceae.
Strawberry : The aggregate accessory fruit of plants in the genus Fragaria. Its fleshy receptacle and surface achenes make it a distinctive rosaceous crop.
