Morus australis, also called Korean mulberry[3] and Chinese mulberry,[4] is a flowering plant species found in East and Southeast Asia.
M. australis is a host plant for Calinaga buddha (Freak).[5]
The substance "Australone A", a prenylflavonoid, can be found in M. australis.[6]
Classification
thumb Some authorities claim that M. australis is a synonym of Broussonetia papyrifera, the paper mulberry.,[7] others deny this, claiming that M. australis and B. papyrifera are separate species within the Moraceae family. M. australis is closely related to M. kagayamae, the main difference is that M. australis has fewer, or no, palmate leaves. The majority of Morus species should be considered subspecies of M. alba,{{citation needed|date=June 2024} a separate species, or a subspecies of M. alba has not been established.[citation needed] Millennia of cultivation of M (biology)|hybrid]]isation between Morus species, has resulted in problems for classification.[citation needed]
