Rosmarinus

Morus australis, also called Korean mulberry^[3] and Chinese mulberry,^[4] is a flowering plant species found in East and Southeast Asia.

The larvae of the freak (Calinaga buddha) feed on M. australis.

The substance "Australone A", a prenylflavonoid, can be found in M. australis.^[5]

Classification

Some authorities claim that M. australis is a synonym of Broussonetia papyrifera, the paper mulberry.^[6], others deny this, claiming that M. australis and B. papyrifera are separate species within the Moraceae family.^{[citation needed]}

M. australis is closely related to M. kagayamae, the main difference is that M. australis has fewer, or no, palmate leaves.^{[citation needed]} The majority of Morus species should be considered subspecies of M. alba,^{[citation needed]} whether M. australis is a separate species, or a subspecies of M. alba has not been established.^{[citation needed]} Millennia of cultivation of Morus species, and easy hybridisation between Morus species, has resulted in difficulties for classification.^{[citation needed]}
