Lettuce and sunflowers are both right sections of the Asteraceae family, a very diverse and most prominent group of flowering plants. Many family members are grown as food crops, including lettuce and Jerusalem artichokes. Others are considered ornamental, including asters, daisies, and marigolds. This family also includes medicinal flowering such as chamomile and plants used to make oils utilised in cooking, for example, sunflower and safflower plants.
