−'''''Gnetum''''' is a genus of about 30-35 species of [[gymnosperm]]s, the sole genus in the family '''Gnetaceae''' and order '''Gnetales'''. They are [[tropical]] [[evergreen]] [[tree]]s, [[shrub]]s and [[liana]]s. Unlike other gymnosperms they possess [[vessel elements]] in the [[xylem]]. Some species have been proposed to have been the first plants to be insect pollinated as they occur in association with the extinct pollinating [[scorpionflies]].<ref name="Ren">Ren D, Labandeira CC, Santiago-Blay JA, Rasnitsyn A, Shih CK, Bashkuev A, Logan MA, Hotton CL, Dilcher D. (2009). Probable Pollination Mode Before Angiosperms: Eurasian, Long-Proboscid Scorpionflies. Science, 326 (5954), 840-847. {{DOI|10.1126/science.1178338}}</ref>
+Many ''Gnetum'' species are edible, with the [[seed]]s being roasted, and the foliage used as a [[leaf vegetable]]. Some are also valued in [[herbal medicine]].
