Taxonavigation

Familia: Asteraceae
Subfamilia: Stifftioideae
Tribus: Stifftieae

Name

Stifftioideae Panero Phytologia 89(3): 356. (2007)

• Type genus: Stifftia J.C.Mikan Del. Fl. Faun. Bras. ad t. 1. (1820)
  

Note: These genera were placed in the tribe by Panero & Funk (2008) on molecular grounds. However, they are in three distinct monophyletic clades -Stifftia, Gongylolpesis clade and Hyaloseris clade with few morphological similarities. See Mandel et al. (2019) for a partial resolution.
