Asterales
Asterales ( ) is an order of dicotyledonous flowering plants that includes the large family Asteraceae (or Compositae) known for composite flowers made of florets, and ten families related to the Asteraceae. While asterids in general are characterized by fused petals, composite flowers consisting of many florets create the false appearance of separate petals (as found in the rosids).
AI overview
Asterales is a major order of flowering plants that includes the Asteraceae family, famous for flowers like daisies and sunflowers that are actually made up of many tiny florets clustered together. This order matters because it represents one of the largest and most recognizable groups of flowering plants, characterized by their distinctive composite flower structure that can appear to have separate petals even though the flowers are fused together.

A ordem das Asterales reúne plantas dicotiledóneas, incluindo a família Asteraceae, a que pertencem os malmequeres, margaridas e girassóis. É uma ordem cosmopolita, incluindo diversas espécies herbáceas, ainda que incluía um pequeno numero de árvores (Lobelia) e arbustos. As Asterales podem ser caracterizadas a um nível morfológico e molecular. As sinapomorfias incluem a utilização do oligossacarídeo inulina no armazenamento de nutrientes, e o facto de os estames aparecerem densamente agregados em volta do carpelo ou mesmo fundidos num tubo em torno do estilete.
