Relating to or belonging to the Asteraceae family of flowering plants, which includes daisies, sunflowers, and asters.
From modern Latin 'Asteraceae,' the scientific family name derived from the genus 'Aster,' which comes from Greek 'aster' meaning star, plus the Latin family suffix '-aceae' indicating plant families.
The Asteraceae family is the second-largest family of flowering plants on Earth—they're called 'star-flowers' because the flower heads look like little stars, and they've conquered nearly every terrestrial habitat from deserts to mountains to Arctic tundra.
