See text Astereae is a tribe of plants in the family Asteraceae that includes annuals, biennials, perennials, subshrubs, shrubs, and trees.

[1] The taxonomy of the tribe Astereae has been dramatically changed after both morphologic and molecular evidence suggested that large genera such as Aster, as well as many others, needed to be separated into several genera or shifted to better reflect the plants' relationships.

A paper by R. D. Noyes and L. H. Rieseberg[3] showed that most of the genera within the tribe in North America actually belong to a single clade, meaning they have a common ancestor.

Guy L. Nesom and Harold E. Robinson have been involved in the recent work and are continuing to re-categorise the genera within the tribe worldwide.

[2] As of October 2024[update], tribe Astereae is divided into 36 accepted subtribes.
