|distribution=Almost worldwide;mostly temperate to subtropical.
|discussion=<p>Genera ca. 120, species 3200+ (29 genera, 167 species in the flora).</p><!--
--><p>Most (not all) members of Senecioneae are characterized by a combination of calyculate involucres of subequal to equal phyllaries in 1–2 series, receptacles epaleate, anthers not tailed, style branches truncate or truncate-penicillate, and pappi of fine bristles; exceptions for all those traits are known. Centers of diversity and/or species numbers are in Mexico, Central America, Andean South America, southern and tropical Africa, and central and eastern Asia.</p><!--
--><p>Some members of Senecioneae are well-known horticultural plants (e.g., species of <i>Doronicum</i>, <i>Emilia</i>, <i>Gynura</i>, <i>Ligularia</i>, <i>Pericallis</i>, and <i>Senecio</i>). Other Senecionids are known for poisoning of livestock, mainly by alkaloids in <i>Senecio</i> spp. (mostly cattle and horses) and by furanoeremophilanes in <i>Tetradymia</i> spp. (mostly sheep).</p><!--
--><p>The circumscription of Senecioneae adopted here is essentially that of K. Bremer (1994). Traditional circumscription of the tribe has experienced expansions and contractions over the decades as genera and groups of genera have been moved in and out. Most genera that have been removed from Senecioneae in its broadest sense have come to rest within Liabeae (none in our flora) or within a broadly circumscribed Heliantheae (e.g., <i>Arnica</i> and allies in Arnicinae, Chaenactidinae, or Madiinae; <i>Haploësthes</i> in Flaveriinae; <i>Raillardella</i> and allies in Madiinae). Additional information may be found in B. G. Baldwin et al. (2002), H. Robinson (1981), and B. Nordenstam (1977[1978]).</p><!--
--><p>Senecionid shrubs with ovate to elliptic, pinnately divided leaf blades mostly 3–8+ cm and radiate heads with yellow corollas (laminae mostly 15–25+ mm) borne on peduncles mostly 3–15+ cm are cultivated in warm areas of the flora and may be encountered sporadically outside plantings. They have been called Euryops pectinatus (Linnaeus) Cassini and/or E. chrysanthemoides (de Candolle) B. Nordenstam.</p>
