The large [[flowering plant]] [[genus]] '''''Grewia''''' is today placed by most authors in the mallow [[family (biology)|family]] [[Malvaceae]], in the expanded sense as proposed by in the [[Angiosperm Phylogeny Group|APG]]. Formerly, it was placed in either the linden family ([[Tiliaceae]]) or the [[Sparrmanniaceae]]. However, these were both not [[monophyletic]] with respect to other [[Malvales]] - as already indicated by the uncertainties surrounding placement of ''Grewia'' and similar genera - and have thus been merged into the Malvaceae. Together with the bulk of the former Sparrmanniaceae, ''Grewia'' is in the [[subfamily]] [[Grewioideae]] and therein the [[tribe (biology)|tribe]] [[Grewieae]], of which it is the [[type genus]].<ref>Heywood ''et al.'' (2007)</ref> Several species, namely Phalsa, are known for their edible fruit, which are of local commercial importance. The [[astringent]] and refreshing ''Grewia'' [[drupe]]s are particularly popular in summertime. [[Folk medicine]] makes use of some species, which are reputed to cure upset stomachs and some skin and intestinal infections, and seem to have mild [[antibiotic]] properties. ''[[Grewia mollis|G. mollis]]'' is reputed to contain [[beta-Carboline|β-carboline]] [[alkaloid]]s<ref>Brown (2001)</ref>, though whether such compounds occur in other species too and whether they are produced in quantities to render the plants [[psychoactive]] has not been thoroughly studied. {{Inc| Grewia (Nehemiah Grew, of Coventry, 1628-1682, author of a work on anatomy of plants). Tiliaceae. Two or three woody plants slightly cultivated in southern Florida. A genus of about 70 species of trees and shrubs in the warmer parts of the world, often having stellate pubescence: lvs. entire or serrate, 1-9-nerved: fls. yellow or rarely purple, in axillary, few-fld. cymes or terminal panicles; petals 5, with pits or glands inside at the base; stamens indefinite; ovary 2-4-celled: drupe 1-4-stoned. G. caffra, Meissn., from Natal, was intro. by Beasoner Bros, in 1891. A bushy plant with young shoots and lvs. glabrous and with purple star-shaped fls. borne during most of the year. G. denticulata, Wall., from India, was never described. Under this name Reasoner cult, a plant "resembling a mulberry in growth, which bears enormous quantities of acid drupes, about the size of cranberries; used for Eickling." G. oppositifolia, Roxbg., is a rough, much- ranched tree, with distichous, crenate-serrate lvs. and fls. in umbellate cymes, borne opposite the lvs.: fls. yellowish, the oblong petals half the length of the sepals. }} ==Cultivation== {{edit-cult}} ===Propagation=== {{edit-prop}} ===Pests and diseases=== {{edit-pests}} ==Species== Selected species{{wp}}: * ''[[Grewia abutifolia]]'' (= ''G. sclerophylla'' Roxb. ex G.
