What is another word for amentiferae?
Pronunciation: [ɐmˈɛntɪfəɹˌiː] (IPA) 
The term "amentiferae" was originally used to describe the catkin-bearing plants of the Betulaceae family. However, modern scientific classifications have abandoned this term and have instead split the Betulaceae family into two separate families: Betulaceae and Corylaceae. Despite this, numerous synonyms have been used to refer to the Betulaceae family over the years, including Amentaceae, Cupuliferae, and Corylaceae. These different names arise due to the evolution of scientific classification, and the continuous improvement in understanding the relationships between various plant groups. Understanding these synonyms is crucial for botanists, as it helps them navigate historical literature and understand the evolution of plant classification.
