Species

Morus taxonomy is complicated and under dispute. Just 10–16 species of the many named are generally accepted, though there are different groups accepting different names. Large amounts of hybridization has also complicate their classification, with generally fertile hybrids.

These species are generally accepted:

  • Morus alba (White Mulberry; eastern Asia)
  • Morus australis (Chinese Mulberry; southeastern Asia)
  • Morus celtidifolia (Mexico)
  • Morus insignis (South America)

This list of Morus are all from E and SE Asia. They are additionally accepted by at least one taxonomic list/study; synonymy as given by other lists/studies is shown in parentheses:

  • Morus atropurpurea
  • Morus bombycis (M. australis)
  • Morus cathayana
  • Morus indica (M. alba)
  • Morus japonica (M. alba)
  • Morus kagayamae (M. australis)
  • Morus laevigata (M. alba var. laevigata, M. macroura)
  • Morus latifolia (M. alba)
  • Morus liboensis
  • Morus macroura (M. alba var. laevigata)
  • Morus mongolica (M. alba var. mongolica)
  • Morus multicaulis (M. alba)
  • Morus notabilis
  • Morus rotundiloba
  • Morus serrata (Himalayan Mulberry; M. alba var. serrata)
