Uktzim

Uktzim (Hebrew: עוּקְצִים; ʿUqṣim, "Stems") is the last masekhet of the order of Tohorot in the Mishnah.

Uktzim describes the various forms of tumah having to do with the stalks of fruits and vegetables.

[1] There is no Gemara for Uktzim in either the Babylonian or Jerusalem Talmud.

[2] This tractate features the teaching of the Amora rabbi Joshua ben Levi, which is peculiar since Mishnayot are typically authored by Tannaim.
