Asteroideae is a subfamily of the plant family Asteraceae. It contains about 70% of the species of the family.[2]
It is made of several tribes including Astereae, Calenduleae, Eupatorieae, Gnaphalieae, Heliantheae, Senecioneae and Tageteae.
[edit] Classification
Since 2004, the subfamily has been divided into three supertribes:[2]
- Senecionodae, containing only the tribe Senecioneae (including Doronicum,[3] which is sometimes placed in a tribe Doroniceae)
- Asterodae
- Helianthodae
