The plant family Moraceae was named and described by Charles Gaudichaud-Beaupré in Genera Plantarum ad Familias Suas Redacta in 1835.

As of 1-3-23 when this page was last updated, Plants of the World Online lists 48 accepted genera in this family commonly referred to as the mulberry or fig family. They are species of woody trees, shrubs, vines, epiphytes, and hemiephytes.

Besides the Mulberry trees growing on the farm, the only other species in the family I gave grown is the Ficus elastica ‘Variegata’
