The Myristicaceae are a family of flowering plants native to Africa, Asia, Pacific islands, and the Americas and has been recognized by most taxonomists. It is sometimes called the "nutmeg family", after its most famous member, '' Myristica fragrans'', the source of the spices nutmeg and mace. The best known genera are '' Myristica'' in Asia and '' Virola'' in the Neotropics. The family consists of about 21 genera with about 520 species of trees, shrubs and rarely lianas ('' Pycnanthus'') found in tropical forests around the world. Most of the species are large trees that are valued in the timber industry. Description They are typically trees with reddish sap and distinctive pagoda-like growth (known as myristicaceous branching) in which horizontal branching only occurs at certain nodes along the main axis of the trunk, each node separated by a large gap where no branching occurs. All genera are dioecious, except '' Endocomia'' and some '' Iryanthera''. The inner bark is usua ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
