Vaccinieae is a tribe of over 1000 species in the plant family Ericaceae. [2] The tribe consists of morphologically diverse woody plants. Species within Vaccinieae can be found on all continents except Australia and Antarctica. [2] Genetic analysis indicates that Vaccinieae is not a monophyletic group. [2]
Vaccinieae are shrubs, [3] [4] small trees, or lianas with deciduous or evergreen leaves. [4]
It was published by Heinrich Gottlieb Ludwig Reichenbach in 1831 [5] with VacciniumL. as the type genus. [6] [1]
