Magnoliophyta >

Ovules (and seeds) enclosed within carpels (fruits); the carpels bearing stigmas upon which the pollen lodges. Pollen produced in the anthers of stamens. Carpels and stamens usually surrounded by a perianth; the whole constituting a flower which may be uni- or bi-sexual (= angiosperms) Magnoliophyta
Flowers usually 4- or 5-merous (rarely 3-merous, when the plants are usually branching trees, shrubs or parasitic twiners). Leaf venation usually reticulate. Embryo with 2 cotyledons. Trees, shrubs, herbs, climbers Magnoliopsida
Flowers and fruits arranged on an invaginated floral axis, i.e. a fig Moraceae
Flowers attached to the inner wall of the invaginated floral axis (fig or syconium) Ficus
Shrub or tree, sometimes epiphytic and strangling in early stages
Leaves very scabrous on the upper surface. Aerial roots absent
Figs glabrous or slightly rough. Mature figs up to 2 cm diam. Leaves obovate to elliptic, 6–10 cm long. Erect shrub or small tree. Blackbutt Reserve, Newcastle. Ficus fraseri
