The '''Juglandaceae''', also known as the Walnut Family, is a family of [[tree]]s, or sometimes shrubs, in the order Fagales. Various members of this family are native to the [[Americas]], [[Eurasia]], and [[Southeast Asia]].
[[Image:Walnut03.jpg|left|thumb|Nut of ''Juglans regia'']]
Members of the walnut family have large aromatic leaves, that are usually alternate, but opposite in ''Alfaroa'', ''Oreomunnia''. The [[leaf|leaves]] are pinnately compound, or ternate, and usually 20-100 cm long.

The trees are wind-pollinated, the flowers usually arranged in [[catkin]]s, and the [[fruit]] is a true botanical [[nut (fruit)|nut]].

There are eight genera in the family, including the commercially important [[nut (fruit)|nut]]-producing trees [[walnut]] (''Juglans''), [[pecan]] (''Carya illinoinensis''), and [[hickory]] (''Carya''). The Persian walnut, ''[[Juglans regia]]'', is one of the major nut crops of the world. Walnut and hickory are also valuable timber trees.

-The '''Juglandaceae''', also known as the Walnut Family, is a family of [[tree]]s, or sometimes shrubs, in the order Fagales.  Various members of this family are native to the [[Americas]], [[Eurasia]], and [[Southeast Asia]].
+In this family are 6 genera and about 35 species of the north temperate zone. The largest genus is Carya with 10 species. The family is related to other Amentiferae, e.g., Myricaceae, Fagaceae, and Betulaceae. The indehiscent, 1-seeded fruit, basal seeds, 2 carpels, perianth and pinnate leaves are distinctive. Fossil species are known.
-The trees are wind-pollinated, the flowers usually arranged in [[catkin]]s, and the [[fruit]] is a true botanical [[nut (fruit)|nut]]. <br clear = left>
+The wood of English walnut is highly valued, but that of Juglans nigra (black walnut) is one of the most valuable of woods. Hickory wood is prized for its hardness and toughness. The fruits of the English walnut (J. regia), butternut (J. cinerea), and of species of Carya (hickory) are among the most important food-nuts. The leaves and bark of Carya and Juglans are purgative. Green dyes are obtained from Carya tomentosa, and yellow from C. ovata, C. sulcata, and C. glabra. Walnut oil and hickory oil are in the trade.
-There are eight genera in the family, including the commercially important [[nut (fruit)|nut]]-producing trees [[walnut]] (''Juglans''), [[pecan]] (''Carya illinoinensis''), and [[hickory]] (''Carya'').  The Persian walnut, ''[[Juglans regia]]'', is one of the major nut crops of the world.  Walnut and hickory are also valuable timber trees.
+The cultivated genera in America are Carya or Hicoria (Hickory, Pecan, Bitternut, Pignut, Mockernut, Shellbark, Kingnut), native and hardy; Juglans (Walnut, Butternut, English Walnut), ornamental, fruit, and timber; Platycarya, ornamental; Pterocarya, ornamental.{{SCH}}
