Flora of the USSR. Volume 25. Compositae Tribes Eupatorieae, Astereae, Inuleae Ambrosieae, Heliantheae and Helenieae.

PB99144941

Publication Date	1999
Personal Author	Schischkin, B. K.; Shetler, S. G.; Fet, G. N.
Page Count	606
Abstract	The twenty-fifth volume of the Flora of the USSR is the first of six volumes describing the plants of the family Compositae. This is the least studied family in our native flora, and the systematics of many of its genera and species are not well worked out despite the fact that many indigenous genera, subgenera, and sections of the Compositae are widely distributed in Soviet Central Asia, the Caucasus, and the Far East. The taxonomic difficulty of this family, the largest of the world's flora, is the reason the existing classifications in the world literature are so contradictory. We have adopted as a basis the most prevalent and in many respects very convenient system worked out by O. Hoffmann. At the same time, it has become necessary to introduce certain changes to this system. The first volume of the Compositae of our flora is the smallest in size, although it covers six tribes of the subfamily Carduoideae (Tubuliflorae): Eupatorieae, Asterease, Inuleae, Ambrosieae, Heliantheae, Helenieae. To them are referred 360 species of wild plants and 20 species of the most commonly cultivated, mostly ornamental plants.
