Rosaceae
Rosaceae is a large family of flowering plants, also known as the rose family. It includes a wide variety of trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants distributed all over the world, with a concentration in the Northern Hemisphere. The family is particularly important economically, with many species cultivated for their fruits and for ornamental purposes.
Taxonomy
The Rosaceae family is divided into four subfamilies: Rosoideae, Spiraeoideae, Maloideae, and Amygdaloideae. These subfamilies are further divided into numerous genera and species. Some of the most well-known genera include Rosa (roses), Rubus (blackberries and raspberries), Prunus (cherries, peaches, plums, and almonds), and Malus (apples and crabapples).
Description
Plants in the Rosaceae family are generally characterized by their flowers, which typically have five petals and a large number of stamens. The fruits can take a variety of forms, including pomes (like apples and pears), drupes (like cherries and peaches), and aggregates of drupelets (like raspberries and blackberries).
Economic Importance
Many species within the Rosaceae family are of significant economic importance. Fruits such as apples, pears, peaches, cherries, strawberries, and raspberries are all members of this family and are major agricultural crops. Additionally, many species are cultivated for their ornamental value, including roses, hawthorns, spireas, and flowering cherries.
