Asteraceae (Composite or Sunflower Family)
There is such a multitude of composites that I have barely begun, and may never do so. One has to observe them throughout an entire life cycle, making note of everything from roots to seeds. I guess I'm lazy. Sigh.
Most of these species are flowers, but Sage (Artemesia) and Rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus) are shrubs.
