Vascular Flora of the Southeastern United States: Vol. 1: Asteraceae

By Arthur Cronquist

This study of the vascular plant taxa in this region includes keys, descriptions, habitats, distributional data, and pertinent synonymy to every vascular species without cultivation in the southeastern United States. The Asteraceae is the largest family of flowering plants in the temperate zone and numbers over fifteen thousand species. Although one of the easiest families to recognize, many genera have been poorly defined heretofore.
