Morus mongolica (L.) C. K. Schneid.[1][2][3], also described as Morus alba var. mongolica (L.) Bureau[4] is a woody plant native to mountain forests in Mongolia, China, Korea, and Japan[1][5]. Common names for Morus mongolica include Mongolian mulberry, meng sang (China)[5], and ilama by native people in the namesake region of Mongolia[6]. Similar to Morus notabilis (L.) C. K. Schneid., Morus mongolica is an uncultivated (wild, undomesticated) mulberry[7].

Morus mongolica is a perennial woody tree. Its native range is the mountains of Mongolia, China, Korea, and Japan[1][5]. The mature Morus mongolica grows to about 8 meters in height (about 26 feet).  The leaves of the tree are palmate, with mature dimensions ranging from 8cm-15cm in length and 5cm to 8cm in width[5].

The flowers occur in inflorescences, both male and female[1].  The male inflorescences are about 3-4 cm long and 7 mm wide, whereas the female inflorescences are about 2 cm long and 7mm wide; both of which have peduncles of about 1-1.5cm[1][5] .  Both the male and the female flowers are in groups of fours: four sepals, four petals, four stamen (for male flowers) and four carpels (for female flowers)[1]. The tree blooms from March to April and fruits in April to May[5].

Fruits are aggregate, and are dull red to black in color[1].  Each cluster is about 1-3 cm long with a 1 cm diameter, with the individual drupelets about 3mm in diameter[1].

Uses

Ecological

Morus mongolica can be used for some of its ecological properties[6][7][8][9]. The leaves are eaten and digested by silkworms[8], and the proteins are used by the silkworms for the production of cocoon silk[7].  The fruits of Morus mongolica are edible, and are eaten by humans[6][9].

Chemical

Morus mongolica is known to have multiple flavonoid and phenolic compounds[10][11][12][13]. These compounds can be found in the fruits[12], leaves[11], and bark[14].

As Lumber

The wood of the Morus mongolica plant has also been mentioned by M. K. Seth in 2003 to be of possible use for biofuel, among other soft wood trees[15].
