Journal lab 2 entry, Shaz Kassimali

I have chosen the chickory, or the Cichorium intybus as my journal entry. Its placement in the phylogenetic tree is in the family of Asteraceae and more specifically in the family of the Cichorioideae. The latter is a sub-family of the Asteraceae.
One unique adaptation of this plant is the bright blue petals.
One common adaptation found amongst my observations is that most of these are weeds, that are invasive and hard to get rid of. They have seeds that have a specific type of structure to ensure they are easily dispersed, either by air or through animal feces, for example.
