See text Cocoseae is a tribe of cocosoid palms of the family Arecaceae.

[1][2] The fruit of the Cocoseae is a modified drupe, with a sclerenchymatous epicarp and a highly developed mesocarp, formed mainly by parenchyma .

The most obvious synapomorphy of the species of this tribe is the presence, in the endocarp, of three or more "eyes" or pores of germination.

[4] The Cocoseae are distributed mainly in the Neotropical regions, with two genera endemic to Africa (Jubaeopsis and Elaeis) and Madagascar (Beccariophoenix and Voanioala), respectively.

The Cocoseae in the sense of Dransfield et al. (2008) are identified as natural relatives (monophylum) in most studies.
