Asteraceae Tribes
Asteraceae () is a large family of flowering plants that consists of over 32,000 known species in over 1,900 genera within the order Asterales. The number of species in Asteraceae is rivaled only by the Orchidaceae, and which is the larger family is unclear as the quantity of extant species in each family is unknown. The Asteraceae were first described in the year 1740 and given the original name Compositae. The family is commonly known as the aster, daisy, composite, or sunflower family. Most species of Asteraceae are herbaceous plants, and may be annual, biennial, or perennial, but there are also shrubs, vines, and trees. The family has a widespread distribution, from subpolar to tropical regions, in a wide variety of habitats. Most occur in hot desert and cold or hot semi-desert climates, and they are found on every continent but Antarctica. Their common primary characteristic is compound flower heads, technically known as capitula, consisting of sometimes hundreds of ...

Vicki Ann Funk
Vicki Ann Funk (November 26, 1947 – October 22, 2019) was an American botanist and curator at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, known for her work on members of the composite family (Asteraceae) including collecting plants in many parts of the world, as well as her synthetic work on phylogenetics and biogeography. Biography Funk was born on November 26, 1947, in Owensboro, Kentucky, to Edwin Joseph and Betty Ann (''née'' Massenburg) Funk. She had two brothers, Edwin Jr. and Jared Kirk. She grew up in Owensboro and at a few United States Air Force bases before she was in elementary school. Funk studied biology and history at Murray State University in Kentucky and received a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in 1969. She had wanted to attend medical school, but decided against it after volunteering at a hospital one summer. After graduating, she lived and worked part-time in Germany for two years, then returned to the United States to teach high school for ...

Wunderlichioideae
The Wunderlichioideae are a subfamily of flowering plants belonging to the family Asteraceae. The subfamily includes eight genera and about 24 species that are concentrated in Brazil ('' Wunderlichia'') and Guyana ('' Chimantaea'', '' Stenopadus'', and '' Stomatochaeta''), with some species in other South America countries ('' Hyalis'' and '' Ianthopappus'') and others ('' Nouelia'' and ''Leucomeris'') in Southeast Asia and the Himalayas.Panero, J. L., and V. A. FunkThe value of sampling anomalous taxa in phylogenetic studies: major clades of the Asteraceae revealed.Mol. Phylogenet. Evol. 2008; 47: 757-782. Distinguishing features of the members of this subfamily are presence of styles with glabrous style branches and a deletion in the ''rpoB'' gene. Two tribes, Wunderlicheae and Hyalideae, are recognised.

Stifftioideae
The Stifftioideae are a subfamily of the family Asteraceae family of flowering plants. It comprises a single tribe, Stifftieae, of ten genera. These plants are vines, shrubs or small trees with thin to leathery, hairless of felty haired leaves with leaf stalks and entire margins, set alternately or rarely oppositely along the branches. The flower heads are at the tip of the branches or rarely in the axils of the leaves, on their own or in open to tightly packed cymes. The involucre may be narrowly cylindrical to half globular, and consists of at least three whorls of overlapping and gradually changing bracts. The common base of the florets (or receptacle) does not carry a bract (or palea) subtending each floret. The florets are all bisexual and may have either a ligulate corolla, a disk corolla, or a bilabiate corolla (three lobes merged to a strap with teeth at the tip and two lobes free much further down), and the lobes may be strongly coiled. The corolla can be yellow, o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Mutisioideae
The Mutisioideae are a subfamily in the plant family Asteraceae Asteraceae () is a large family (biology), family of flowering plants that consists of over 32,000 known species in over 1,900 genera within the Order (biology), order Asterales. The number of species in Asteraceae is rivaled only by the Orchi ... that includes about 630 species assigned to 44 different genera. This subfamily is mainly native in South America, except for '' Adenocaulon'', '' Chaptalia'', '' Gerbera'', '' Trichocline'', which have species in all continents other than Europe and Antarctica. Common characters are the deeply incised corollas of the disc florets, with five lobes, sometimes merged in two lips, flower heads with overlapping involucral bracts, anthers with tails and pointy tips, the styles usually stick far out of the florets and are essentially hairless. Most species are herbs, but some are vines, shrubs, or small trees.

Hecastocleidoideae
''Hecastocleis'' is a genus of low thorny shrubs with stiff branches, assigned to the daisy family. At the tip of each of the branches, inflorescences are subtended by oval, thorny, whitish to greenish bracts that enclose several flower heads which each contain only one pinkish bud, opening into a white corolla. It contains but one species, ''Hecastocleis shockleyi'', the only representative of the tribe Hecastocleideae, and of the subfamily Hecastocleidoideae. Its vernacular name is prickleleaf. It is confined to the southwestern United States. and Description ''Hecastocleis shockleyi'' is a xerophytic thorny shrub of , occasionally 1½ m (4 ft 11 in) high. It has sixteen chromosomes (2n=16). Leaves The leaves are alternately set along the branches. The leaf blades are hairless or with a few soft hairs, slightly olive green, stiff and leathery, with three main veins, linear to narrowly ovate in shape, long, their base approximately clasping the branch, with ...

Gymnarrhenoideae
Gymnarrhenoideae is a subfamily within the family Asteraceae, with only one tribe, the Gymnarrheneae. Two very different species have been assigned to it, '' Gymnarrhena micrantha'', a winter annual from the deserts of North-Africa and the Middle-East, and '' Cavea tanguensis'', a perennial herb that grows on scree near streams and glaciers in the Eastern Himalayas. These species have very little in common, other than having two types of flower heads and sharing a tendency towards dioecism. Both also have basal leaf rosettes, stretched leaves, with few spaced teeth on the margin, and both lack spines and latex. Taxonomy The subfamily Gymnarrhenoideae and tribe Gymnarrheneae were erected in 2009 by Jose Panero and Vicki Funk to accommodate the isolated position of ''Gymnarrhena'' that is suggested by genetic analyses. A later analysis including rare species from China illustrated that ''Cavea'' is its sister taxon. Phylogeny Based on recent genetic analysis, it is now general ...

Luis Ariza Espinar
Luis is a given name. It is the Spanish form of the originally Germanic name or . Other Iberian Romance languages have comparable forms: (with an accent mark on the i) in Portuguese and Galician, in Aragonese and Catalan, while is archaic in Portugal, but common in Brazil. Origins The Germanic name (and its variants) is usually said to be composed of the words for "fame" () and "warrior" () and hence may be translated to ''famous warrior'' or "famous in battle". According to Dutch onomatologists however, it is more likely that the first stem was , meaning fame, which would give the meaning 'warrior for the gods' (or: 'warrior who captured stability') for the full name.J. van der Schaar, ''Woordenboek van voornamen'' (Prisma Voornamenboek), 4e druk 1990; see also thLodewijs in the Dutch given names database Modern forms of the name are the German name Ludwig and the Dutch form Lodewijk. and the other Iberian forms more closely resemble the French name Louis, a deriva ...
