Morus bombycis Koidz.

The larvae of the freak (Calinaga buddha) feed on M. australis.

The substance "Australone A", a prenylflavonoid, can be found in M. australis.[4]

Not a true mulberry (i.e. "Plants of the World Online" gives M. australis as a synonym of the accepted taxonomic designation, Broussonetia papyrifera, the paper mulberry),[5] its fruits and leaves are edible, and it is used as feed in raising silkworms.[6] It is widely used for fibre production, for paper and cloth.[6] Both the Broussonetia and the Morus genera are within Moraceae family.[6]
