Characteristics

This group is most diverse in South America, Southern Africa and Australia. There are only a few genera with species native to north temperate regions: Anaphalis, Antennaria, Gamochaeta, Helichrysum, Leontopodium (Edelweiss), Phagnalon, Diaperia, and Pseudognaphalium.[3]

The classification of the tribe into subtribes is unclear, with a number of past classifications not being supported by late 20th-century evidence.[3]
