Abstract
The Moraceae, sometimes known as the fig family, includes roughly 38 genera and 1,100 species, widely spread throughout tropical, subtropical and temperate regions (Clement & Weiblen, 2009). The majority of Moraceae are found in humid tropical lowland forests, however several species can also be located in drier tropical or subtropical environments. The Moreae is the only tribe encompassing temperate species of Morus and Madura, whereas the preponderance of its species is tropical showing weak variety in Southeast Asia (Barthlott & Hunt, 1993). The majority of Moraceae species are either trees or shrubs, however, there are also some woody climbers which related to the genera Ficus as well as Maclura.
A dehiscent drupe is common type of fruit in Moraceae family. It is distinguished by a fleshy, irregularly thickened exocarp and a constricted base. In some genera, indehiscent drupes are also found, nevertheless they have a thin base or an irregularly thickened exocarp, proving that they are descended from the dehiscent form. Most Moraceae are known to include numerous species that are disseminated by birds, owing to their colors and scents of the fruits. (Berg, 1973).
Moraceae flowers are unisexual with four equal segments make up their perianth. Within the family, inflorescences can be either unisexual or bisexual. There is a huge variety of inflorescences ranging from apparently simple racemes via spikes and capitula to the urceolate inflorescences (Barthlott & Hunt, 1993). Sclerenchymatous idioblasts are found in the mesophyll of a few species of Ficus, Maclura, Artocarpus, and Antiaris.
