Question
Biology teacher Yuri Panov discovered a unique hotspot of organisms in this family near Novosibirsk, where around 30 species in this family grow. A rare hybrid of the monkey and lady species of these plants occurs at Hartslock in Oxfordshire. It’s not Rubiaceae (“roo-bee-AY-shee”), but seeds of this family do not have endosperm, and need mycorrhiza to germinate and grow in the wild. Some members of this family of perennial herbs produce the smallest (*) seeds of any flowering plants, measuring 1/300th of an inch. A flavouring extracted from one member of this family is industrially synthesised from guaiacol or lignin. Charles Darwin correctly predicted the existence of a moth with a very long proboscis that coevolved with a member of this family. For 10 points, name this family of plants that is, along with Asteraceae, the largest of all flowering plant families, and which includes vanilla. ■END■
