Preferred Label : eucommiaceae;
MeSH definition : A plant family of the order Eucommiales, subclass Hamamelidae, class Magnoliopsida
(some botanists have classified this in the order Hamamelidales or Urticales). Eucomia
is an elmlike tree of central and eastern China. Leaves are alternate; deciduous flowers
are solitary and unisexual and lack petals and sepals. The male flowers have 6 to
10 stamens and female flowers have one ovary of two carpels, one of which aborts during
development so the fruit (a dry, winged structure) contains only one seed. The latex
is a source of RUBBER. Tochu tea is an aqueous extract of Eucommia ulmoides leaves
and a popular beverage in Japan. (Mutat Res 1997 Jan 15;388(1):7-20).;
