Category:Family Rubiaceae

Plants in the Rubiaceae family, also known as the coffee family, madder family, or bedstraw family.

Etymology
The family takes its name from the madder genus Rubia, which derives from the Latin word ruber, meaning "red".[2] The family was described by Antoine Laurent de Jussieu in 1789. (The well-known genus Rubus (blackberries and raspberries) is unrelated and belongs to Rosaceae, the rose family.)
