     The composite family is one of the larger plant families, consisting of 
     
     more than 1,500 species. Composite flowers are easily recognized by the numerous 
     
     'petals' spreading out from a common centre, as in the daisy or dandelion. On 
     
     Prince Edward Island most of our common fall wildflowers belong to this family.
