Thursday, January 08, 2009
Definition of 'Asteraceae'A large plant family of the order Asterales, subclass Asteridae, class Magnoliopsida. The family is also known as Compositae. Flower petals are joined near the base and stamens alternate with the corolla lobes. The common name of "daisy" refers to several genera of this family including Aster; CHRYSANTHEMUM; RUDBECKIA; TANACETUM. Common names: Asteraceae; Compositae; Enhydra fluctuans; Ixeris; Ligularia; Lychnophora; Phagnalon; Psacalium; Pseudognaphalium; Silphium; Sphaeranthus; Tithonia; Trixis; Viguiera; Aspilia; Carpesium; Clibadium; Doronicum; Leopard's Bane, False; Emilia Plant; Heterotheca; Iostephane |
