Asteraceae (13)

Asteraceae, also known as the daisy or sunflower family, is a large family of flowering plants with over 23,000 species. This family is characterized by its composite flower structure, where what seems like a single flower is actually a cluster of smaller ones. Notable members include the daisy, sunflower, and lettuce. Asteraceae species are found worldwide and many are cultivated for their ornamental value, medicinal properties, or as food crops.
