'''''Fragaria''''' ({{IPAc-en|f|r|ə|ˈ|ɡ|ɛər|i|.|ə}})<ref>''Sunset Western Garden Book,'' 1995: 606–07</ref> is a [[genus]] of [[flowering plant]]s in the [[rose]] family, [[Rosaceae]], commonly known as '''strawberries''' for their edible [[fruit]]s. There are more than 20 described [[species]] and many [[Hybrid plant|hybrids]] and [[cultivar]]s. The most common strawberries grown commercially are cultivars of the [[strawberry|garden strawberry]], a hybrid known as ''Fragaria'' × ''ananassa''<!--N.B. Editors please keep multiplication sign outside quote marks, otherwise it appears italicised on certain browsers-->. Strawberries have a taste that varies by cultivar, and ranges from quite sweet to rather tart. Strawberries are an important commercial fruit crop, widely grown in all temperate regions of the world.
