Asteracea Poster 3
The family Asteraceae, alternatively Compositae, consists of over 32,000 known species of flowering plants in over 1,900 genera within the order Asterales. Commonly referred to as the aster, daisy, composite, or sunflower family, Compositae were first described in the year 1740.

Most occur in hot desert and cold or hot semi-desert climates, and they are found on every continent but Antarctica.
