Familiar members of Cichorioideae include lettuce, dandelions, chicory and Gazania species.

[2] In 2004, 2007, and 2008, molecular phylogenetic studies further clarified relationships within Cichorioideae.

The following phylogeny is from Systematics, Evolution and Biogeography of the Compositae, except the tribe Gundelieae is recognized and the genus Trichospira is now included in Vernonieae.

Gundelieae Cichorieae Eremothamneae Arctotidinae Heterolepis Gorteriinae Platycarpheae Liabeae Distephanus Trichospira Moquinieae Vernonieae
