aster
This term refers specifically to a group of hardy, perennial composite flowers known for their star-shaped blooms. In a horticultural context, it is often associated with late-season gardening because it provides critical nectar for pollinators when most other summer flowers have faded.
While the word is used technically in botany, it is most commonly encountered in gardening guides and floral descriptions. It should not be confused with other daisy-like flowers unless the specific star-like petal arrangement and autumn blooming period are present.
