   [1913 Webster]

   Note:

   Morus alba is the white mulberry, a native of India or
      China, the leaves of which are extensively used for
      feeding silkworms, for which it furnishes the chief food.


   Morus multicaulis, the many-stemmed or Chinese mulberry, is
      only a form of white mulberry, preferred on account of its
      more abundant leaves.

   Morus nigra, the black mulberry, produces a dark-colored
      fruit, of an agreeable flavor.
