Classification
Some authorities claim that M. australis is a synonym of Broussonetia papyrifera, the paper mulberry.,[7] others deny this, claiming that M. australis and B. papyrifera are separate species within the Moraceae family.[citation needed]
M. australis is closely related to M. kagayamae, the main difference is that M. australis has fewer, or no, palmate leaves.[citation needed] The majority of Morus species should be considered subspecies of M. alba,[citation needed] whether M. australis is a separate species, or a subspecies of M. alba has not been established.[citation needed] Millennia of cultivation of Morus species, and easy hybridisation between Morus species, has resulted in problems for classification.[citation needed]
