Gnaphalieae is a tribe of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae.

Characteristics

This group is most diverse in South America, Southern Africa and Australia. It is sometimes commonly called the pussy's-toes tribe. There are only a few genera in the northern hemisphere, such as Antennaria, Leontopodium (edelweiss), and Anaphalis.[2]

It is most closely related to the tribes Anthemideae, Astereae, and Calenduleae.[1]

The classification of the tribe into subtribes is unclear, with a number of past classifications not being supported by late 20th century evidence.[2]
