	Asclepiadaceae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Asclepiadaceae is a former plant family, now included in the dogbane family Apocynaceae, according to the AGP II.
		The name Asclepiadaceae however still retains the epithet 'nom.
		They form a group of perennial herbs, twining shrubs, lianas, or rarely trees belonging to the order Gentianales.

	Asclepiadaceae Floral Evolution Abstract
		Asclepiadaceae are a large angiosperm family characterized by a suite of putatively novel features that contributes to extreme floral complexity and diversity.
		In this paper, I use a preliminary phylogenetic hypothesis for Asclepiadaceae to explore the patterns of diversification in two novel floral characters, the pollinarium and the corona.
		The presence, number, and orientation of pollinia and the presence and form of corolline and gynostegial coronas are analyzed.

	The Asclepiad Page - carrion flowers
		The Asclepiadaceae comprise a large and diverse group of about two-thousand species of plants split into 300 genera.
		Some species are pollinated by blow-flies and the perfume and hairy texture of some of the flowers in this group mimics that of rotting carrion.
		However, many Asclepiadaceae have unperfumed flowers, or in the case of the Hoyas, a sweet spicy scent produced during the evening and night.

		For the plant species tested, a hierarchy of feeding preferences was observed; only plants from the Asclepiadaceae were more or equally preferred to Asclepias curassavica, the common control.
		The feeding preferences among plant species within the Asclepiadaceae are similar to published mean cardenolide concentrations.
		These data suggest that the host range of D. plexippus larvae is maintained by both feeding stimulatory and deterrent chemicals in host and non-host plants.

	Asclepiadaceae
		Asclepiadaceae (abbreviation asclepiads) is a large and diverse plant family (Milkweed Family) which comprises about 240 genera and almost 3,400 species.
		They are mostly shrubs, climbers and perennial herbs with milky sap, some cactus-like, widely distributed in tropical and sub-tropical regions with a few in temperate climates.
		Even though Asclepiadaceae was subsumed under the Apocynaceae (Dogbane Family) on the basis of recent molecular studies in 2000, on most asclepiads related web sites the family will continue to be considered as a separate plant family for more or less pragmatical reasons.
