Wikipedia

Garden strawberries are a common kind of strawberry cultivated worldwide. Like other species of ''Fragaria'' (strawberries), it belongs to the family ''Rosaceae.'' Technically, it is not a fruit, but a false fruit, meaning the fleshy part is derived not from the plant's ovaries (achenes) but from the peg at the bottom of the bowl-shaped hypanthium that holds the ovaries.http://gears.tucson.ars.ag.gov/book/flower.html The garden strawberry was first bred in Brittany, France in 1740 via a cross of ''Fragaria virginiana'' from eastern North America , which was noted for its flavor, and ''Fragaria chiloensis'' from Chile and Argentina brought by Amédée-François Frézier, which was noted for its large size. Cultivars of ''Fragaria'' × ''ananassa'' have replaced, in commercial production, the woodland strawberry, which was the first strawberry species cultivated in the early 17th century.
