Family Rosaceae
In the Rose Family (Rosaceae) the basic flower plan has five sepals, five
petals and numerous stamens, though cultivation has produced many-petalled
varieties. The leaves are arranged alternately on the stem and they usually
have small modified leaflets (stipules) at the point where a leafstalk
grows out from the stem. Some species in this family have prickles.
Strawberry, apple, plum, peach, cherry and hawthorn all belong in Family
Rosaceae.
