Asteridae
The aster -like ( unranked ) form a large subclass of three furrows pollen dicotyledons ( Rosopsida ) in some classifications. They are similar to the asteroids.
Description
The petals are fused with them ( Sympetalie ). This coupled occur even more derived features, such as tetracyclic flowers ( so there are four and not five petal circles present); because there is only one episepalen, so standing on the sepals stamen circle; Polyandry never occurs; the carpels are usually reduced to two, the ovule is tenuinucellat and has an integument ( unitegmisch ). These tendencies in the formation of pseudo- flowers ( Pseudanthien ), zygomorphic flowers, adhesions of the anthers and ovary.
