CarthamusgenusA plant genus of the family ASTERACEAE.[MeSH]AsteraceaeA large plant family of the order Asterales, subclass Asteridae, class Magnoliopsida. The family is also known as Compositae. Flower petals are joined near the base and stamens alternate with the corolla lobes. The common name of daisy refers to several genera of this family including Aster; CHRYSANTHEMUM; RUDBECKIA; TANACETUM.[MeSH]
PeriplocagenusA plant genus of the family Apocynaceae. It is a source of periplocosides (pregnane steroid glycosides).[MeSH]ApocynaceaeThe dogbane family of the order Gentianales. Members of the family have milky, often poisonous juice, smooth-margined leaves, and flowers in clusters.[MeSH]
Periploca laevigataspecies[no description available]ApocynaceaeThe dogbane family of the order Gentianales. Members of the family have milky, often poisonous juice, smooth-margined leaves, and flowers in clusters.[MeSH]
