The pubescent foliage of Helichrysum orientale

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]

Characteristics

This group is most diverse in South America, Southern Africa and Australia. It is sometimes commonly called the pussy's-toes tribe. There are only a few genera in the northern hemisphere, such as Antennaria, Leontopodium (Edelweiss), and Anaphalis.[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]
