Revision as of 19:32, 16 December 2019

Annuals, biennials, perennials, subshrubs, shrubs, or trees. Leaves usually cauline, sometimes mostly basal or basal and cauline; usually wholly or partly opposite, sometimes mostly whorled or alternate; usually petiolate, sometimes sessile; margins entire or dentate to pinnatifid or palmatifid (faces often gland-dotted). Heads usually heterogamous (disciform or radiate), sometimes homogamous (usually discoid, sometimes ± radiant; unisexual in some genera), usually in corymbiform, paniculiform, racemiform, or spiciform arrays, sometimes borne singly or in glomerules, rarely aggregated in second-order heads. Calyculi 0 or of 1–15+ bractlets. Phyllaries persistent or falling, usually in 3–5+ series, usually distinct (sometimes connate and forming hardened perigynia or winged or tuberculate to spiny burs, e.g., Ambrosia spp.), unequal (usually lanceolate to ovate or broader), and herbaceous to chartaceous with margins and/or apices sometimes notably scarious, sometimes in 1–2 series, distinct or connate, subequal (usually linear to lanceolate), and herbaceous with margins and/or apices sometimes notably scarious. Receptacles flat to conic or cylindric, paleate or epaleate (sometimes with enations from receptacles among florets, e.g., some Gaillardia spp.; sometimes pitted, pit borders often fimbrillate to lacerate). Ray florets (rarely 0) usually in 1(–2+) series, usually pistillate, rarely neuter or styliferous and sterile; corollas usually yellow to orange, sometimes cyanic to red, dark brown, or purplish, or white (laminae sometimes marcescent, e.g., Baileya, Zinnia). Peripheral (pistillate) florets 0 or (in disciform heads) in 1–3+ series; corollas (usually present) usually yellow to orange, sometimes ochroleucous or cyanic to reddish, purplish, or brown. Disc (inner) florets usually bisexual and fertile, rarely functionally staminate; corollas usually yellow to orange, sometimes ochroleucous or cyanic to reddish, purplish, or brown, sometimes ± zygomorphic (± 2-lipped), lobes (3–)5, usually ± deltate to lance-ovate, sometimes lanceolate to lance-linear; anther bases obtuse or rounded, not tailed (sometimes sagittate), apical appendages usually ovate to lanceolate, rarely 0 (in Ambrosiinae, filaments usually connate, anthers distinct, and plants wind-pollinated); styles abaxially glabrous or papillate to hirsutulous (distally), branches linear, adaxially stigmatic, usually in 2 lines, sometimes continuously, from bases to appendages, appendages usually deltate to lanceolate (abaxially and adaxially papillate to hispidulous). Cypselae usually monomorphic, sometimes dimorphic within heads, usually ± columnar to prismatic, sometimes compressed, obcompressed, or flattened, sometimes ± beaked, bodies smooth, rugose, tuberculate, ribbed, or winged (glabrous or hairy; cypselae enclosed within and shed with a hardened perigynium or bur in some Ambrosiinae; enfolded within and shed with subtending phyllaries or paleae in some Madiinae and genera in other subtribes); pappi (rarely 0) usually persistent, sometimes readily falling, usually of scales (scales sometimes aristate, sometimes plumose), sometimes of awns or smooth, or barbellulate to barbellate, or plumose bristles, sometimes combinations of scales and/or awns and/or bristles.

Distribution

Almost wholly New World, mostly subtropical, tropical, and warm-temperate.

Discussion

Genera ca. 300, species ca. 3300+ (148 genera, 746 species, including 5 hybrids, in the flora).

Nearly 95% of the species of Heliantheae in the broad sense (both paleate and epaleate genera) are native in the New World. O. Hoffmann (1890–1894) listed 10 subtribes for Heliantheae in a restricted sense (only paleate genera). T. F. Stuessy (1977[1978]) listed 15 subtribes for his Heliantheae, which included transfer of much (but not all) of traditional Helenieae (epaleate genera), as Bahiinae and Gaillardiinae. H. Robinson (1981) listed 35 subtribes for Heliantheae, including transfers of all of traditional Helenieae plus some genera formerly included in Senecioneae (e.g., Arnica). Because Robinson’s classification of Heliantheae was current and available as plans were being laid for treating the composites for this flora (ca. 1988), it was chosen as the organizational basis for the tribe.

P. O. Karis and O. Ryding (1994, 1994b) tentatively segregated the paleate and epaleate genera of Heliantheae s.l. as Heliantheae s.str. and Helenieae, respectively–-a traditional split but with a novel circumscription of Helenieae. Other authors have suggested separating genera of Heliantheae in a broad sense into a dozen or so tribes (e.g., B. G. Baldwin and B. L. Wessa 2000; Baldwin et al. 2002; J. L. Panero and V. A. Funk 2002).

Much of the partitioning and reorganizing of Heliantheae in the past 20 or so years has stemmed from botanists comparing differences and similarities in base sequences in DNA molecules and seeking to have taxa correspond to monophyletic clades. Some botanists see a phylogenetic classification comprising monophyletic taxa as the ultimate goal of systematics (e.g., P. C. van Welzen 1997); other botanists see monophyletic taxa as logically, philosophically, and/or theoretically untenable (e.g., R. K. Brummitt 1997).
