Campanulids:Apiales: Apiaceae(The Carrot Family; Umbelliferae) • Nearly cosmopolitan • Usually herbs; aromatic with ethereal oils, terpenoids, saponins and other compounds; leaves alternate with sheathing bases; internodes usually hollow • Diversity: 3,780 species in 434 genera • Flowers: Small, inconspicuous. Sepals 5, distinct, very reduced; petals 5, distinct but developing from a ring-like primordium, usually inflexed; stamens 5, filamentsdistinct; carpels 2, connate, inferior ovary; fruit a schizocarp, the 2 dry segments (mericarps) attached to an entire to deeply forked central stalk (carpophore) • Significant features: Aromatic parts; inflorescences usually involucrate compound umbels (sometimes simple or condensed into a head); styles basally swollen to form a nectar-secreting structure (stylopodium) atop the ovary; seeds with oil glands • Special uses: Herbs and spices, vegetables (carrot, Daucus; celery – Apium; parsnip - Pastinaca), parsley (Petroselinum) • Required taxa: family only
Apiaceae Zizia Daucus Anethum Cicuta
Apiaceae • reduced calyx • inflexed petals • inferior ovary • 2 carpels • stylopodium
Apiaceae schizocarps
Apiaceae: Daucus -bristly annuals or biennials with pinnately dissected leaves -umbels compound -involucre of more or less conspicuous pinnate bracts -flowers all or nearly all perfect, mostly with pedicels -mericarps with 5 slender, bristly 1° ribs and 4 winged 2° ribs involucre

Campanulids:Dipsacales: Caprifoliaceae(The Honeysuckle Family) • Widely distributed, especially in northern temperate regions • Herbs, shrubs, small trees and lianas; leaves opposite, simple • Diversity: 810 species in 36 genera (in the broad sense) • Flowers: Sepals 5, connate; petals 5, connate, often with 2 upper and 3 lower lobes or 1 upper and 4 lower lobes; stamens (1-) 4-5, filaments adnate to the corolla; carpels 2-5, connate, style elongate, stigma capitate, inferior ovary; fruit a capsule, berry, drupe, or achene. • Significant features: Flowers bilateral; large, spiny pollen • Special uses: Ornamentals: honeysuckle (Lonicera), Weigela, Symphoricarpus (snowberry) • Family not required
Caprifoliaceae: Lonicera -erect or climbing shrubs -leaves entire -calyx teeth very short -corolla tubular or funnelform, often more or less irregular -fruit a several-seeded berry
Campanulids:Dipsacales: Adoxaceae(The Elderberry family) • Widespread in temperate regions of the N. Hemisphere but also in mountainous regions of S. Hemisphere • Small trees, shrubs or perennial herbs; leaves opposite, simple or trifoliolate or pinnately compound • Diversity: 245 species in 5 genera • Flowers: Bisexual, radial, small; sepals 2-5, connate, reduced; petals 4-5, connate, well developed but with a usually short tube; stamens 5, pollen with a reticulate exine; carpels 3-5, style(s) short; fruit a drupe, with 1-5 pits • Significant features: inflorescences determinate, umbellate, showy • Special uses: ornamentals (Viburnum, Sambucus), also jellies and wines • Family not required
Adoxaceae Adoxa Viburnum Sambucus
Adoxaceae: Viburnum -shrubs or small trees -leaves simple -inflorescences compound cymes -flowers usually white (rarely pink) -corolla spreading, deeply 5-lobed -ovary 3-carpellate, but two abort -fruit a 1-locular, 1-seeded drupe
Adoxaceae: Sambucus -herbaceous, shrubby or arborescent -leaves pinnately compound -inflorescences compound cymes -corolla broadly spreading -fruit a drupe containing 3 pits
Campanulids:Asterales: Campanulaceae(The Bellflower or Lobelia Family) • Widespread in northern temperate and sub-tropical regions;also in the montane tropics • Mostly herbs; occasionally woody; with laticifers/latex and milky sap; leaves usually alternate • Diversity: ca. 2,200 species in 79-84 genera • Flowers: With a hypanthium; sepals 5, connate; petals 5, connate, forming a bell-shaped or bilabiate (or 1-lipped) corolla; stamens usually 5, distinct to distally connate, usually attached to a disk at apex of ovary; carpels 2-5, connate, inferior (or half-inferior) ovary; fruit a loculicidal or poricidal capsule, or berry • Significant features: pollen shed in a tube formed by connate anther parts; style (with pollen collecting hairs near the apex) grows through tube • Special uses: Mostly ornamentals (Campanula, Lobelia, Codonopsis, Platycodon) • Family not required
Campanulaceae pollen plunger Campanula Downingia Lobelia Platycodon
Campanulaceae: Lobelia -herbs -flowers resupinate -calyx 5-parted, with a short tube -corolla with a straight tube split on the apparently upper side, somewhat 2-lipped, the upper lip with 2 lobes, the lower with 3 lobes -stamens free from the corolla, united into a tube by the anthers but also commonly by the filaments -capsule 2-locular, opening at the top
Campanulids:Asterales: Asteraceae(The Sunflower Family – Largest family of angiosperms) • Cosmopolitan • Herbs or shrubs (trees); resin canals or laticifers often present • Diversity: 23,600 species in ca. 1,600 genera • Flowers: Sepals highly modified to form a scaly or hairy pappus; petals 5, connate, forming a tubular, bilabiate, radial or bilateral corolla; anthers fused into a tube around the style (syngenesious); pollen plunger mechanism present; carpels 2, connate, inferiorovary; fruit an achene (cypsela), often with adherent pappus (calyx parts) • Significant features: flowers densely arranged into indeterminate heads (capitula), surrounded by involucral bracts (phyllaries), often with differentiation in inner flowers and outer flowers (disk and ray flowers); various pollination and dispersal syndromes • Special uses: Food plants: sunflower (Helianthus), chicory (Cichorium), artichoke (Cynara), lettuce (Lactuca); many ornamentals (marigolds, zinnias, chrysanthemum, dahlia, etc.). • Family only
Asteraceae Pseudanthium = false flower • disk + ray florets phyllaries Berlandiera
Asteraceae • Floral Terminology: • Head (= capitulum) • Pseudanthium • Involucre • Phyllaries • Floret • Ligulate or ray floret • Disk floret
