Angiosperms Class dicotyledons Family Asteraceae Biology 6th grade Author - compiled by teacher of biology at the Alekseevskaya Secondary School, Grechukhina N.V.

General characteristics of the family The largest family among dicotyledons, including more than 20 thousand species distributed throughout the globe. There are about 3,500 wild species in Russia. Basically, these are perennial and annual herbaceous plants, less often - subshrubs, shrubs and small trees. Among the Asteraceae there are many economically important plants: food (lettuce), oil-bearing (sunflower), spicy (tarragon), medicinal (maral root, marsh grass), insecticidal (pyrethrum), ornamental (asters, dahlias), rubber-bearing (kok-sagyz, guayule). malicious weeds (sow thistle, thistle, cornflower, etc.).

Characteristics of the family Root – taproot Stem – erect Venation – reticulate Leaf arrangement – ​​alternate. Types of flowers - tubular, funnel-shaped, reed Inflorescence - basket Fruit - achene Life expectancy - annual, perennial Meaning - honey plants, food, oilseeds, medicinal, weeds, ornamental. Sunflower (fruit – achene)

Five types of flowers: 1. Tubular - with a long tube, usually widening upward, and with a short five-toothed limb formed by the free tips of the petals; flowers are bisexual, less often unisexual. 2. Funnel-shaped - asexual, with a long, curved, strongly expanded corolla tube, with a greater number of teeth than in tubular flowers due to partial splitting of the free ends of the petals. 3. Reed - bisexual, with a short tube and a lamellar five-toothed bend. 4. Bilabial - bisexual or unisexual, with a rather long tube from which extend an upper lip consisting of two free teeth and a lower lip in the form of a tongue with three teeth at the top. 5. False-lingulates (apparently arising from two-lipped flowers due to shortening of the tube and reduction of the upper lip) - usually pistillate, sometimes with staminodes, less often asexual.

Diversity of plants of the Aster salignus Willd family A perennial bare plant with a height of 60 to 150 cm, with a creeping rhizome. The stem is erect (1), paniculately branched in the upper part (2). Leaves lanceolate (3) Inflorescence - baskets about 15 mm in diameter.

Sunflower is a good honey plant. The fruit is an achene, the color of the fruit shell is light, light and dark gray, charcoal-black, brown, striped. Spreading. Russia is rightfully considered the second homeland of sunflower. Use. Sunflower oil is classified as semi-drying. It is widely used for food, in the production of margarine, in soap making, paint and varnish and other light industries. The oil contains biologically active linoleic acid, phosphatides and vitamins A, D, E, K. Origin. In the homeland of the sunflower, in the south of North America, this plant was called the “sun flower” and was considered sacred. The first achenes were brought to Europe by the Spaniards in 1510. In 1829, D. E. Bokarev, a serf peasant of Count Sheremetev from the village of Alekseevka, Voronezh province, discovered a new property of the “sunny flower”.

Grows in light, fresh or moderately dry soils: meadows, grassy slopes, borders and fallows, roadsides and weedy places. Distributed in Europe and Asia from the Mediterranean to the Arctic climate zone. The scientific name of the plant is derived from the Greek words “taraxis” - inflammation of the eyes and “akeomai” - to treat, since the milky juice of dandelion was used for similar diseases. In the spring, young leaves are collected, and in the fall, dandelion roots are collected. Dandelion contains primarily inulin (a very important caloric substance for diabetics), saponin, many minerals, vitamins, phytoncides, etc. Medicinal raw materials, has a bile and diuretic effect, affects the secretion of saliva, gastric juice and, together with other substances, has impact on metabolism.

On embankments and waste heaps it appears among the first plants to settle there. The plant has medicinal properties, mainly due to the high content of bitterness and trace elements, similar to those found in chamomile flowers. Young leaves and flowers are usually collected. In folk medicine, it is still used today for gastrointestinal diseases, as well as to enhance the secretion of bile. Yarrow has long been known as a hemostatic agent.

    The “velvet” name of this flower is associated with its beautiful double inflorescences. Marigolds have a characteristic smell. This is due to the presence of essential oil in the plant. The flowers have a variety of colors from yellow to shades of brown. In China, marigolds are a symbol of longevity, which is why they are called “flowers of ten thousand years.” In Hinduism, this flower was personified with the god Krishna. In the language of flowers, marigolds mean fidelity.

    The legend of the marigold...

    A long time ago, during the reign of King Pea, a boy was born into a poor family. They called him Zamorysh because he was weak and sickly. Zamorysh grew up and set off on a journey to gain some sense. People had already forgotten about him, but one day a rumor spread: a man had appeared who was treating the sick. And Zamorysh became famous for treating people not with spells, not with divination, but with healing drinks. Grandma Abracadabra heard about this and decided to poison the doctor. Out of jealousy, the evil sorceress Abracadabra, inviting a doctor to visit her, brought him a cup of poisoned wine. Zamorysh did not know about this and drank wine. When Zamory felt that he was dying, he called people and bequeathed to them to bury the marigold from his left hand under the window of Abracadabra’s grandmother after his death. People complied with his request. And in that place a golden flower grew, which was called a marigold. The marigold flower cures many, many diseases, for which people always remember Zamorish.
