Encyclopedia
Plucheeae, sometimes also spelt as Plucheae, is a tribe
of flowering plants in the subfamily Asteroideae
.
(Cass.) tribe.
It includes the following genera:
Anderberg's molecular data from 2005 does not support the monophyly
of a tribe defined in this way. His 2005 classification does not recognize Plucheeae, but includes it in the Inuleae. This classification does include a subtribe Plucheinae in the Inuleae, but this subtribe contains a number of species from the former Inuleae as well as all the species which had been in Plucheeae.

Monophyly
In common cladistic usage, a monophyletic group is a taxon which forms a clade, meaning that it contains all the descendants of the possibly hypothetical closest common ancestor of the members of the group. The term is synonymous with the uncommon term holophyly...
