Ambrosiinae is a subtribe of flowering plants in the tribe Heliantheae, and is endemic to the Americas. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
Genera recognized by the Global Compositae Database as of November 2022: [6]
Senecioneae is the largest tribe of the Asteraceae, or the sunflower family, comprising over 150 genera and over 3,500 species. Almost one-third of the species in this tribe are placed in the genus Senecio. Its members exhibit probably the widest possible range of form to be found in the entire plant kingdom, and include annuals, minute creeping alpines, herbaceous and evergreen perennials, shrubs, climbers, succulents, trees, and semi-aquatic plants.
Harold Ernest Robinson was an American botanist and entomologist.
The Heliantheae are the third-largest tribe in the sunflower family (Asteraceae). With some 190 genera and nearly 2500 recognized species, only the tribes Senecioneae and Astereae are larger. The name is derived from the genus Helianthus, which is Greek for sun flower. Most genera and species are found in North America and South America. A few genera are pantropical.
The Gnaphalieae are a tribe of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. It is most closely related to the tribes Anthemideae, Astereae, and Calenduleae.
Eupatorieae is a tribe of over 2000 species of plants in the family Asteraceae. Most of the species are native to tropical, subtropical, and warm temperate areas of the Americas, but some are found elsewhere. Well-known members are Stevia rebaudiana, a number of medicinal plants (Eupatorium), and a variety of late summer to autumn blooming garden flowers, including Ageratum (flossflower), Conoclinium (mistflower), and Liatris.
Tageteae is a tribe of the plant family Asteraceae. It consists of approximately 260 species divided among 32 genera. All are found in the New World, with a center of diversity in the Mexican highlands. The type genus is Tagetes (marigolds).
The Cichorioideae are a subfamily of the family Asteraceae of flowering plants. Familiar members of Cichorioideae include lettuce, dandelions, chicory and Gazania species. The subfamily comprises about 240 genera and about 2900 species. It is heterogeneous and hard to characterize except with molecular characters.
Heliomeris is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, known generally as false goldeneyes.
Guardiola is a genus of plants in the family Asteraceae, native to Mexico and the southwestern United States. Members of the genus are subshrubs with simple, opposite leaves and terminal inflorescences.
Sigesbeckia is a genus of annual plants in the family Asteraceae. St. Paul's wort is a common name for some of the species. Sigesbeckia is widely distributed and has been traditionally used for the management of chronic diseases, including arthritis.
Madieae is a tribe of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. It is sometimes considered a subtribe of Heliantheae. Notable species include the tarweeds of the Western United States as well as the silverswords of Hawaii.
Coreopsideae is a tribe of flowering plants belonging to the Asteroideae subfamily. It includes widely cultivated genera such as Cosmos and Dahlia.
Aldama is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. The native range of this genus is tropical & sub-tropical America. The genus was originally described to include one species of subtribe Helianthinae that were characterized by having pales that tightly enclosed the cypselae (achenes).
Simsia is a genus of flowering plants in the tribe Heliantheae within the family Asteraceae. It includes annuals, herbaceous perennials, and shrubs. They range from the western United States south through Central and South America to Argentina, with the center of diversity occurring in Mexico. The genus is named for British physician and botanist John Sims (1749–1831). Although some species are relatively rare, others have become common weeds that line the roadsides and fields of Mexico, often forming dense stands mixed with Tithonia and other Asteraceae. Some species are known by the common name bushsunflower.
Iostephane is a genus of Mexican flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. They were first published in G.Bentham & J.D.Hooker, Genera Plantarum Vol.2 on page 368 in 1873.
Lagascea is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. It occurs primarily in Mexico, but some species extend into Central America and one reaches north into the western United States. One species, L. mollis, has been widely introduced to other localities around the tropics and subtropics.
Rhysolepis was a genus of Mexican plants in the tribe Heliantheae within the family Asteraceae. Until 2011, when botanists Schilling & Panero studied the subtribe Helianthinae based on molecular sequences of nuclear ITS, ETS, and cpDNA, coming to a conclusion that that the genus ViguieraKunth, did not constitute a monophyletic group. Among their conclusions they proposed to reclassify the genus, dividing and relocating its species in at least eleven genera: AldamaLa Llave, BahiopsisKellogg, Calanticaria(B.L. Rob. & Greenm.) E.E. Schill. & Panero, DavilanthusE.E. Schill. & Panero, DendroviguieraE.E. Schill. & Panero, GonzaleziaE.E. Schill. & Panero, HeiseriaE.E. Schill. & Panero, HeliomerisNutt., HymenostephiumBenth., SidneyaE.E. Schill. & Panero and ViguieraKunth.
Helenieae is a tribe of the plant family Asteraceae. The type genus is Helenium, but the best known members of the tribe are the Gaillardia. Helenieae are usually placed in their own tribe, but some authors include this and several other tribes as subtribes within a broader definition of the tribe Heliantheae.
Bahiopsis is a genus of North American flowering plants in the tribe Heliantheae within the family Asteraceae. It is native to the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico, with several of the species endemic to the Baja California Peninsula.
Dendroviguiera is a genus of flowering plants in the sunflower family. Its native range stretches from Mexico into Central America. Formerly part of the Viguiera genus, until a DNA study in 2011 separated out all the shrub/tree species of the Viguiera genus.
