Asteraceae – Aster Family ASTERACEAE – ASTER FAMILY Plant: herbs (annual or perennial), some shrubs, rarely vines or trees. Stem: Root: Often with tubers, rhizomes, stolons, or fleshy roots Leaves: mostly simple, some compound, alternate or opposite, rarely whorled. Flowers: flower head supported by an involucre (whorl of green bracts or phyllaries); each head composed of small flowers (composite) of flat ray-like (ligulate) flowers on the outside (ray flowers) and central tube-like flowers (disk flowers) – some species may have only one or the other. Calyx absent or modified into hairs, bristles, scales or a crown (pappus); 5 stamens (syngenesious -united by anthers); 5 united petals (sympetalous), receptacle may also have hairs or bristles. Both pappus and receptacle hairs/bristles may be used in ID. Fruit: achene (small, one-seeded, inferior ovule, 2 carpels, hard shell fruit) often with persisting crowned pappus which helps with seed dispersal. Other: Very large family, divided into sub-families and tribes, once named Compositae; 1-2,000 genera, 20,000+ species.

  • Bee-Friendly Flowers: Aster
    Bee-Friendly Flowers: Aster Like fireworks to celebrate the coming of fall, the vibrant pinks, purples, and whites of the star flowers burst into bloom just as summer flowers fade. They are ubiquitous, lighting up meadows, woodlands, river bottoms, salt marshes, sand dunes, roadsides, and waste places. There are many native species of asters in North America, but it’s hard to put a precise number on them. The problem is that asters used to be classified with their own genus, but recent strides in DNA analysis have made scientists rethink where to put them. Plants that used to be lumped into the genus Aster are now split into Symphiotrichum, Eurybia, Solidago, and Machaeranthera just to name a few. Not all taxonomists are onboard with the change, so many botanical New England aster sources list more than one name for the same plant. Despite the confusion about what to call them, the variety of asters is enormous. Hybridization between species frequently occurs in the wild and there are a plethora of human-created hybrids and cultivars. Some have clouds of tiny flowers and some have blossoms as large as daisies. What they all have in common is that each aster flower is a composite of numerous disc and ray florets, which collectively give the appearance of a single large flower. The center holds the disc florets, which are tubular, house the nectar, and are usually yellow, orange, or brownish in color. Those near the bullseye location have both stamens and pistils and can provide pollen to visiting insects. The outer discs are all females and only have pistils to receive pollen.

  • Floral Structure and Dynamics of Nectar Production in Echinacea Pallida Var
    Int. J. Plant Sci. 169(6):708–722. 2008. Ó 2008 by The University of Chicago. All rights reserved. 1058-5893/2008/16906-0002$15.00 DOI: 10.1086/533602 FLORAL STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS OF NECTAR PRODUCTION IN ECHINACEA PALLIDA VAR. ANGUSTIFOLIA (ASTERACEAE) Tyler J. Wist and Arthur R. Davis1 Department of Biology, University of Saskatchewan, 112 Science Place, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan S7N 5E2, Canada The reproductive structure of the disk florets of Echinacea pallida var. angustifolia (Asteraceae) in relation to insect pollination was investigated using light, fluorescence, and scanning electron microscopy. The study of this self-incompatible species emphasized pollen production, pollen-stigma interactions, transmitting tissue, and vasculature within the style. Nectary structure and nectar production dynamics were also examined. Produced in the fused anther tubes, the trinucleate pollen with yellow pollenkitt was plentiful per floret, yielding a pollen : ovule ratio of 24,130. Encircling the style base at the ovary summit, the floral nectary pos- sessed modified stomata whose pores, as well as nonstomatal gaps in the epidermis, provided apoplastic pathways for nectar escape and reabsorption. Phloem alone supplied the gland interior, the sieve element– companion cell complexes reaching up to the nectary epidermis. Nectar was hexose dominant, its volume and nectar-sugar quantity per floret peaking on the afternoon of the first day of anthesis until the morning of the second day. Nectar production only occurred in half of the florets for 3 d, rarely for 5 d. Potential honey production from fields of this species was estimated at 2.1–11.9 kg/ha. Keywords: floral nectar, nectary, pollen-stigma interactions, pollination, style.
