__NOTOC__
:Protologue: Lamk, Encycl. 4: 380 (1797).
== Synonyms ==
''Morus acidosa'' Griffith (1854), ''Morus cavaleriei'' H. Lév. (1911), ''Morus inusitata'' H. Lév. (1914).
== Vernacular names ==
*Korean mulberry (En). Mûrier (Fr)
*Vietnam:dậu tằm, dậu tàu, dâu ta.
== Distribution ==
Originally from China, Korea, Japan and Taiwan; cultivated in Indo-China, the Philippines and Java, occasionally naturalized.
== Uses ==
In Java ''M. australis'' is used to feed silkworms; medicinal applications are mainly reported from its native region. In Vietnam a decoction of the leaves is used in the treatment of coughs and colds, and insomnia. A decoction of the root-bark is used against asthma, rheumatism and oliguria.
== Observations ==
A large shrub or small tree up to 10 m tall; leaves ovate to broadly ovate, 5-20 cm × 3-12 cm, rounded to shallowly cordate at base, long acuminate at apex, nearly glabrous to soft-hairy below, with a 1-4 cm long petiole; male spikes 1.5-3 cm long, female spikes erect or patent, broadly oblong, 1-2 cm long; syncarp oblong to ellipsoid, 1.5-3.5 cm long. In its natural habitats, ''M. australis'' is fairly common at low and moderate altitudes.
== Selected sources ==
