To be honest I would like to know about most of them, but if I had to choose 3 and start there I would look at Solanales, Cucurbitales and Asterales as I already grow potatoes, sunflowers and pumpkins etc.
I am interested in many of these plants families. To stay with the assignment. I have listed 3 below. Many I would have to research to even know what they are.
Asteraceae Daisy Family, Sunflower Family and thistle family.
Solanaceae Potato Family
Araliaceae Ginseng Family
I am going to look into the families:
Plumbaginaceae, Lamiaceae & Oxalidales – BCS I have access to these plants and I already have a bit of a base understanding f each of them.
Gentianales: Many of these flowering plants are used in traditional medicine.They have been used to treat pain, anxiety, cancers and neurological conditions.
ASTERIDS: Well known plants in this clade include the common daisy, forget-me-nots, nightshades (including potatoes, eggplants, tomatoes, peppers and tobacco), the common sunflower, petunias, yacon, morning glory, sweet potato, coffee, lavender, lilac, olive, jasmine, honeysuckle, ash tree, teak, snapdragon, sesame, psyllium, garden sage, table herbs such as mint, basil, and rosemary, and rainforest trees such as Brazil nut.
APIALES: Under this definition, well-known members include carrots, celery, parsley, and Hedera helix (English ivy).
Three herbs that aid in the treatment of acute stress are catnip; valerian; and vervain.
Catnip – Nepeta Cataria
Valerian – Valeriana Officinalis
Vervain – Verbena Officinalis
As mentioned I’m currently studying herbology for animals and need to coordinate my studies.
I actually looked into a plant log similar to that one for Ontario. Ours is organized differently. But, it’s truly brilliant the way it was done in that list.
I liked how they were color coordinated.
I’m going to eventually add those to mine, but I’m focusing on plants in my own region. Making my own list of things, and noting which ones I can potentially grow in my own garden, or forge from nearby areas.
Malvaceae
Oleaceae
Asteraceae
Lamiaceae, malvacea and asteraceae
I’m going to look at Pelargonium, Eucalyptus and Aloe ferox.
Monocots
Rosids
Asterids

Zingiberales
Lamiaceae
Eudicots
Too many to choose!!! 3 would be brassica, saxifragales, and magnoliales

African herbs I think as an African I will have to apply more knowledge to it
I would like to study these african herbs a bit more when I have a moment free.
