| The Asteraceae are primarily herbaceous, although woody members occur, mostly on oceanic islands and on isolated mountain tops in the tropics. What looks like a single flower is actually a head or capitulum inflorescence. This is a photo of a field of sunflowers (Helianthus annuus) grown for seed. |
