This is true for all members of the Asteraceae family. [23] After pollination, they mature in 3–4 weeks [15] and become gray or tan with an oblong-obovoid shape, 1.3–2.2 mm (0.051–0.087 in) in length with 3–5 nerves, and with a few stiff, slender bristles on their surfaces (strigillose).
Most species are herbaceous, perennial, short-lived or annual plants, rarely subshrubs, shrubs or vines.All Cichorieae-species have latex canals in both the roots, stems and leaves, and this occurs to be a unique character among the Asteraceae, although latex as such occurs rather widespread in this family.
