• The family has three genera and about 360 species and is a member of the order Ericales. (wikipedia.org)
  • Before genetic evidence appeared in the last 10 years, the placement of the Actinidiaceae within the Ericales was highly controversial. (wikipedia.org)
  • Placement of the Actinidiaceae within the Ericales has been strongly supported recently by genetic evidence, and contrary to previous thought, it is not a basal member of the Ericales. (wikipedia.org)
  • The Actinidiaceae family is part of the larger order Ericales, which includes other economically important plant families such as the Ericaceae (blueberries, cranberries), Primulaceae (primroses), and Theaceae (tea). (ayurvedicfranchisehelp.org)
  • Saurauia, with its 300 species, is the largest genus in this family. (wikipedia.org)
  • The species is dioecious (individual flowers are either male or female, but only one sex is to be found on any one plant so both male and female plants must be grown if seed is required). (pfaf.org)
  • Ebony is a dense black wood taken from several species in the genus Diospyros , including Diospyros ebenum (Ceylon ebony, Indian ebony), Diospyros crassiflora (West African ebony, Benin ebony), and Diospyros celebica (Makassar ebony). (wikipedia.org)
  • Most species are dioecious . (wikipedia.org)
  • As now circumscribed , the family includes about 170 species grouped in about 11 genera, including Cannabis (hemp), Humulus ( hops ) and Celtis (hackberries). (cannaqa.wiki)
  • Celtis is by far the largest genus, containing about 100 species. (cannaqa.wiki)
  • Multiple studies using genetic evidence now firmly place the Actinidiaceae in the Ericoid clade, a monophyletic group consisting of the Ericaceae, the Cyrillaceae, the Clethraceae, the Sarraceniaceae, and the Roridulaceae. (wikipedia.org)
  • The Actinidiaceae are a small family of flowering plants. (wikipedia.org)
  • Because the name Ebenaceae had become well known, having been used in major botanical references such as Bentham and Hooker's Genera Plantarum , Engler and Prantl's Natürlichen Pflanzenfamilien , and Hutchinson's Families of Flowering Plants , it was conserved [8] and is therefore legitimate. (wikipedia.org)
  • Some plants in the genus Cannabis are cultivated as hemp for the production of fiber, as a source of cheap oil , for their nutritious seeds, or their edible leaves. (cannaqa.wiki)
  • They are dioecious, which means that male and female flowers grow on separate plants, and both male and female plants are required for fruit production. (ayurvedicfranchisehelp.org)
  • In the dioecious plants the male inflorescences are long and look like panicles , while the female ones are shorter and bear fewer flowers. (cannaqa.wiki)
  • Cannabaceae are often dioecious (distinct male and female plants). (cannaqa.wiki)
  • Except for members of the genus Clematoclethra which have 10 stamens, the stamens are numerous and originally attached at the back. (wikipedia.org)
