The Cronquist system is a scheme for the classification of flowering plants (or angiosperms). This system was developed by Arthur Cronquist (1919- 1992) in his texts An Integrated System of Classification of Flowering Plants (1981) and The Evolution and Classification of Flowering Plants (1988). Cronquist's system places flowering plants into two broad classes, monocotyledons and dicotyledons. Related orders are placed into subclasses. Although the scheme is still widely used, it has been displaced by the work of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification f ...

Ribes grossularia L. Ribes hirtellum Ribes echinellum Gooseberry is the common name of two closely related species of fruit-bushes, the European Gooseberry (Ribes grossularia) and the North American Gooseberry (Ribes hirtellum). Gooseberries are usually placed in genus Ribes, along with the closely related blackcurrants, redcurrants etc. A few taxonomists place gooseberries in a separate genus, Grossularia, but since gooseberry-blackcurrant hybrids (e.g. the Jo ...

Fruits of temperate climates are almost universally borne on trees or woody shrubs or lianas. They will not grow adequately in the tropics, as they need a period of cold (a chilling requirement) each year before they will flower. The apple, pear, cherry, and plum are the most widely grown and eaten, owing to their adaptability. Many other fruits are important regionally but do not figure prominently in commerce. Many sorts of small fruit on this list are gathered from the wild, just as they were in Neolithic times. ...

The wild gooseberry is a small, straggling bush, nearly resembling the cultivated plant, the branches being thickly set with sharp spines, standing out singly or in diverging tufts of two or three from the bases of the short spurs or lateral leaf shoots, on which the bell-shaped flowers are produced, singly or in pairs, from the groups of rounded, deeply-crenated 3 or 5 lobed leaves. The fruit is smaller than in the garden kinds, but is often of good flavor; it is generally hairy, but in one variety smooth, constituting the R. uva-crispa< ...

The bushes at times suffer much from the ravages of the caterpillars of the gooseberry or magpie moth, Abraxas grossulariala, which often strip the branches of leaves in the early summer, if not destroyed before the mischief is accomplished. The most effectual way of getting rid of this pretty but destructive insect is to look over each bush carefully, and pick off the larvae by hand; when larger they may be shaken off by striking the branches, but by that time the harm is generally done; the eggs are laid on the leaves of the previou ...

Fruits in this category are not hardy to extreme cold, as the preceding temperate fruits are, yet tolerate some frost and may have a modest chilling requirement. Notable among these are natives of the Mediterranean: Cornelian cherry (Cornus mas; Cornaceae) Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera; Arecaceae) Fig (Ficus spp. Moraceae) Grape, called raisin, sultana, or currant when it is dried (Vitis spp.; Vitaceae) Jujube (Ziziphus zizyphus; Rhamnaceae) Black m ...
