Young Curly Blonde Girl On The Field Of Daisy Flowers Near The River

Etymology
The name Asteraceae is derived from the type genus Aster, which is a Greek term, meaning "star". While Compositae, an older but still valid name, means composite and refers to the characteristic inflorescence, a special type of pseudanthium found in only a few other angiosperm families. The study of this family is known as synantherology.
