The flowering plants or angiosperms ( Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta) are the most widespread group Magnoliopsida is the Botanical name for a class of Flowering plants By definition the class will include the family Magnoliaceae, but its The Asterales are an order of Dicotyledonous Flowering plants which include the composite family Asteraceae ( Sunflowers daisies Antoine Laurent de Jussieu ( April 12, 1748 - September 17, 1836) was a French Botanist, notable as the first to propose A genus (plural genera from Γένος Latin genus "descent family type gender" is a low-level Taxonomic |
The family Campanulaceae (also bellflower family), of the order Asterales, contains about 70 genera and 2000 species. In Biological classification, family ( Latin This article is about the taxonomic rank for the sequence of species in a taxonomic list see Taxonomic order In scientific classification used The Asterales are an order of Dicotyledonous Flowering plants which include the composite family Asteraceae ( Sunflowers daisies A genus (plural genera from Γένος Latin genus "descent family type gender" is a low-level Taxonomic In Biology, a species is one of the basic units of Biological classification and a Taxonomic rank. They are mostly herbs, shrubs, and more rarely small trees, which usually have milky non-toxic sap.

This family is almost cosmopolitan but concentrated in the Northern Hemisphere. In Biogeography, a Biological category of living things is said to have cosmopolitan distribution if this category can be found almost anywhere around the world Northern Hemisphere is the half of a Planet that is North of the Equator —the word hemisphere literally means 'half ball' However in the Southern Hemisphere, South Africa is remarkably rich in members of this family. Southern Hemisphere is the half of a Planet that is South of the Equator —the word hemisphere literally means 'half ball' The Republic of South Africa (also known by other official names) is a country located at the southern tip of the continent of Africa These species are absent in the Sahara, Antarctica and northern Greenland.

Morphology
Leaves of these species are often alternate, more rarely opposite. They are also simple and without stipules. In Botany, stipule ( Latin stipula: straw stalk is a term coined by Linnaeus Flowers are bisexual, bell-shape, consisting of a narrow tube-like corolla with small spreading lobes. A petal (from Ancient Greek petalon "leaf" "thin plate" regarded as a highly modified leaf is one member or part of the corolla Flowers are fairly often blue. Fruits are often berries, but can also be capsules. The word berry has two meanings one based on a botanical definition the other on common identification In Botany a capsule is a type of simple dry Fruit produced by many species of Flowering plants A capsule is a dehiscent structure composed of two
