Hábito
La mayoría de las especies de compuestas son plantas herbáceas, raramente árboles, arbustos o lianas. Muchas especies presentan látex y también aceites esenciales. Pueden o no ser resinosas. Las hojas, en general, están bien desarrolladas, en algunos casos se hallan muy reducidas. En general no son plantas suculentas, si bien hay algunos ejemplos de compuestas con esa característica. Pueden ser anuales, bienales o perennes, con una agregación basal de hojas (una "roseta" basal) o sin ella. Existen especies hidrofíticas (ciertas especies de Bidens o Cotula), que presentan hojas sumergidas y emergentes. Por otro lado, existen especies helofíticas, mesofíticas y xerofíticas.

Symposium/content
The main subject of The Symposium is love, and it is framed in the Athenian society life, in the Golden Age. A secondary object is the description of Socrates' character, as Plato takes the opportunity to portray his master. A great part of the discourse is concerned with men's homosexual love. This is probably a reflexion of the fact that women did not participate in the public life of the Athenian society, and marriage was more an arrangement to secure the family continuity than a question of love.

Each participant in the symposyum presents an aspect of love, in preparation of Socrates dicourse that represents the hyghest level of love, the love of beauty and virtue.

Symposium
Socrates

redación presente

Socrates turns politely to Agathon and with Agathon's cooperation examines his speech. This is done using a series of questions and answers typical of Plato's Socratic dialogues. Agathon answers affirmatively to Socrates' line of questioning, thus refuting many of the statements in his previous speech (199d). The conclusion is that love consists in being conscious of a need for a good that is not yet possessed. After this dialogue that puts the foundation for Plato's theory of love, Socrates enters into a new dialogue in which a woman of Mantinea, called Diotima, plays the same inquiring role Socrates has played with Agathon.

Diotima explains that Love is the son of "Resource" (father) and "Poverty" (mother). Love has attributes from both parents. Love is beggarly, harsh and a master of artifice and deception (203d) and is delicately balanced and resourceful (204c). Diotima states that humans have the yearning to procreate, mentally and physically, and that this desire is the expression of humanity's desire for immortality (207a-b). Diotima's explanation of Love entails how to become a Philosopher, or a Lover of wisdom, and by doing so one will give birth to intellectual children of greater immortality than any conceived through procreation.

This speech, in the interpretation of Marsilio Ficino in De amore (1484), is the origin of the concept of Platonic love.

En esta redacción falta la descripción del camino de ascensión del amante.

The first step is the love of a particular physical beauty. Then comes the love of general beauty. Then there is a step jumping from physical to moral beauty, and from this to the beauty of knowledge, and from particular knowledge to the supreme knowledge, whose object is the absolute beauty. Accrding to some scholars, like Hamilton, this absolute beauty is the Form of beauty.
