'''''Maclura''''' is a genus of [[flowering plant]]s in the [[Morus (plant)|mulberry]] family, [[Moraceae]]. It includes the inedible [[Maclura pomifera|Osage orange]], which is used as [[mosquito]] [[Insect repellent|repellent]] and grown throughout the [[United States]] as a [[Hedge|hedging plant]].<ref name="Silvics">{{Silvics |first=J D |last=Burton |volume=2 |genus=Maclura |species=pomifera |accessdate=2009-03-03}}</ref>
''Maclura'' is closely related to the genus ''[[Cudrania tricuspidata|Cudrania]]'', and hybrids between the two genera have been produced. Some botanists recognize a more broadly defined ''Maclura'' that includes species previously included in ''Cudrania'' and other genera of Moraceae.{{citation needed|date=December 2015}} The genus likely originated in South America during the [[Paleogene]].<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Gardner|first=Elliot M.|last2=Sarraf|first2=Paya|last3=Williams|first3=Evelyn W.|last4=Zerega|first4=Nyree J.C.|date=December 2017|title=Phylogeny and biogeography of Maclura (Moraceae) and the origin of an anachronistic fruit
