Lamium album. Lamium originates from the Greek for "wide-open mouth" (on the flowers).[1][2]
Flowering plant families (APG IV)
Early-diverging flowering plants
Monocots: Alismatids • Commelinids • Lilioids
Eudicots
Basal eudicots • Dilleniales and Gunnerales
Superasterids: Basal superasterids (and the asterids)
Asterids: Basal asterids • Euasterids
Superrosids: Saxifragales (and the rosids)
Rosids: COM clade • Malvids • Nitrogen-fixing clade • Vitales and Zygophyllales
The euasterids or core asterids are a group of 69 interrelated families in 15 orders of flowering plants.[3][4][a] They tend to have petals that are fused with each other and with the bases of the stamens, and just one integument (covering) around the embryo sac.[3] The asterids as a whole (the euasterids plus two orders of basal asterids) represent almost a third of all flowering plant species.[8]
The euasterids include trees, shrubs, vines and herbaceous perennials and annuals. Sweet potatoes are a tropical staple food. Basil, oregano, sage, rosemary, thyme and peppermint are all kitchen herbs in the mint family. Olives have been cultivated around the Mediterranean for food and oil for at least five thousand years. The daisy family includes lettuce, artichokes, Stevia, sunflowers and tarragon.[9]
