Juglandaceae
The Juglandaceae are a plant family known as the walnut family. They are trees, or sometimes shrubs, in the order Fagales. Members of this family are native to the Americas, Eurasia, and Southeast Asia. The nine or ten genera in the family have a total of around 50 species, and include the commercially important nut-producing trees walnut (''Juglans''), pecan (''Carya illinoinensis''), and hickory (''Carya''). The Persian walnut, '' Juglans regia'', is one of the major nut crops of the world. Walnut, hickory, and gaulin are also valuable timber trees while pecan wood is also valued as cooking fuel. Description Members of the walnut family have large, aromatic leaves that are usually alternate, but opposite in '' Alfaroa'' and '' Oreomunnea''. The leaves are pinnately compound or ternate, and usually 20–100 cm long. The trees are wind-pollinated, and the flowers are usually arranged in catkins. The fruits of the Juglandaceae are often confused with drupes but are acc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
