Descriptor Eucommiaceae
Scope note: Familia de plantas del orden Eucommiales, subclase Hamamelidae, clase Magnoliopsida (algunos botánicos la incluyen en el orden Hamamelidales o Urticales). La Eucomia es un árbol parecido al olmo que crece en la zona central y oriental de China. Posee hojas alternantes, flores caducas, solitarias y unisexuales, que carecen de pétalos y sépalos. Las flores masculinas tienen entre 6 y 10 estambres mientras que las femeninas poseen un ovario y dos carpelos, uno de los cuales aborta durante el desarrollo, por lo que el fruto (una estructura seca y alada) contiene una sola semilla. El látex es una fuente de GOMA. El té tochu es un extracto acuoso de las hojas de Eucommia ulmoides, así como una bebida popular en Japón. (Mutat Res 1997 Jan 15;388(1):7-20).

Scope note: A plant family of the order Eucommiales, subclass Hamamelidae, class Magnoliopsida (some botanists have classified this in the order Hamamelidales or Urticales). Eucomia is an elmlike tree of central and eastern China. Leaves are alternate; deciduous flowers are solitary and unisexual and lack petals and sepals. The male flowers have 6 to 10 stamens and female flowers have one ovary of two carpels, one of which aborts during development so the fruit (a dry, winged structure) contains only one seed. The latex is a source of RUBBER. Tochu tea is an aqueous extract of Eucommia ulmoides leaves and a popular beverage in Japan. (Mutat Res 1997 Jan 15;388(1):7-20).
