Hydrangeoideae is a subfamily of the hydrangea family (Hydrangeaceae). It contains two tribes, Hydrangeeae and Philadelpheae. [3] The subfamily was described by Gilbert Thomas Burnett in 1835. [1]
Pollen grains from species within the subfamily are often subprolate to subspherical. [4] The leaf venation is largely camptodromous. [5]
