Genus of flowering plants belonging to the hop and hemp family
Celtis genus of about 60–70 species of deciduous trees, commonly known as hackberries or nettle trees , widespread in warm temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere . The genus is part of the extended Cannabis family (Cannabaceae ).
Description [ edit ]
Celtis species are generally medium-sized trees , reaching 10–25 metres (33–82 feet) tall, rarely up to 40 m (130 ft ) tall. The leaves are alternate, simple, 3–15 centimetres (1 + 1 4 ovate -acuminate , and evenly serrated margins. Diagnostically, Celtis can be very similar to trees in the Rosaceae and other rose motif families.[citation needed
Small flowers of this monoecious plant appear in early spring while the leaves are still developing. Male flowers are longer and fuzzy . Female flowers are greenish and more rounded.[citation needed
The fruit is a small drupe 1 4 3 8 in ) in diameter, edible in many species, with a dryish but sweet, sugary consistency, reminiscent of a date .[citation needed
Taxonomy [ edit ]
Previously included either in the elm family (Ulmaceae ) or a separate family, Celtidaceae, the APG III system places Celtis in an expanded hemp family (Cannabaceae ).[1] [2]
Phylogeny [ edit ]
Members of the genus are present in the fossil record as early as the Miocene of Europe, and Paleocene of North America and eastern Asia.[3] [4]

66 species are currently accepted.[5]

Etymology [ edit ]
The generic name originated in Latin and was applied by Pliny the Elder to the unrelated Ziziphus lotus [8]
Distribution and habitat [ edit ]
The trees are widespread in warm temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere , including Southern Europe , South and East Asia , southern and central North America ,[9] Africa , and northern and central South America .
Ecology [ edit ]
Some species, including common hackberry (C. occidentalis C. brasiliensis honey plants and a pollen source for honeybees of lesser importance.
Lepidoptera [ edit ]
Celtis species are used as food plants by the caterpillars of certain Lepidoptera . These include mainly brush-footed butterflies , most importantly the distinct genus Libythea Apaturinae (emperor butterflies):
Common beak (Libythea lepita ) caterpillars feed on Celtis in Asia
Pathogens [ edit ]
The plant pathogenic basidiomycete fungus Perenniporia celtis Celtis host plant. Some species of Celtis are threatened by habitat destruction .
Several species are grown as ornamental trees , valued for their drought tolerance . They are a regular feature of arboreta and botanical gardens , particularly in North America. Chinese hackberry (C. sinensis bonsai culture; a magnificent specimen in Daegu-myeon is one of the natural monuments of South Korea .
The berries are generally edible when they ripen and fall.[14] C. occidentalis fruit was used by the Omaha , eaten casually, as well as the Dakota people , who pounded them fine, seeds and all. The Pawnee used the pounded fruits in combination with fat and parched corn.[15] C. douglasii Mescalero Apaches .[16]
Hackberry wood is sometimes used in cabinetry and woodworking.[citation needed
