The Gnaphalieae are a tribe of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. It is most closely related to the tribes Anthemideae, Astereae, and Calenduleae.[1]
This group is most diverse in South America, Southern Africa and Australia. There are only a few genera with species native to temperate regions: Anaphalis, Antennaria, Gamochaeta, Helichrysum, Leontopodium (Edelweiss), Phagnalon, Diaperia, and Pseudognaphalium.[2]
The classification of the tribe into subtribes is unclear, with a number of past classifications not being supported by late 20th-century evidence.[2]
