*the malvales are an ‘order’ of ‘flowering plants’*
.
(as ‘circumscribed’ by ‘APG II-system’, the ‘order’ includes about 6000 ‘species’ within 9 ‘families’)
.
(the ‘order’ is placed in the ‘eurosids II’, which are part of the ‘eudicots’)
(the ‘plants’ are mostly ‘shrubs’ and ‘trees’; most of its ‘families’ have a ‘cosmopolitan’ distribution in the ‘tropics’ and ‘subtropics’, with limited ‘expansion’ into ‘temperate regions’)
.
(an interesting ‘distribution’ occurs in ‘madagascar’, where 3 ‘endemic families’ of ‘malvales’ occur…)
“sphaerosepalaceae”
“sarcolaenaceae”
“diegodendraceae”
.
(many species of ‘malvaceae sensu lato’ are known for their ‘wood’, with that of ochroma (aka ‘balsa’) being known for its ‘lightness’, and that of tilia (‘lime’, ‘linden’, or ‘basswood’) as a popular ‘wood’ for ‘carving’)
(‘fruit’ of the ‘cacao tree’ (aka “theobroma cacao”) are used as an ingredient for ‘chocolate’)
(‘kola nuts’ (genus ‘cola’) are notable for their high content of ‘caffeine’, and in the past were commonly used for preparing of various ‘cola drinks’)
.
(other well-known members of ‘malvales’ in the ‘APG II’ sense are ‘daphnes’, ‘hibiscus’, ‘hollyhocks’, ‘okra’, ‘baobab trees’, ‘cotton’, and ‘kapok’)
