Asteraceae is an economically important family, providing products such as cooking oils, lettuce, sunflower seeds, artichokes, sweetening agents, coffee substitutes and herbal teas. Several genera are of horticultural importance, including pot marigold, Calendula officinalis, Echinacea (cone flowers), various daisies, fleabane, chrysanthemums, dahlias, zinnias, and heleniums. Asteraceae are important in herbal medicine, including Grindelia, yarrow, and many others.[4] A number of species are considered invasive, including, most notably in North America, dandelion, which was originally introduced by European settlers who used the young leaves as a salad green.[5]

The diamond denotes a very poorly supported node (<50% bootstrap support), the dot a poorly supported node (<80%).



Barnadesioideae: 9 genera, 93 species. South America, mainly the Andes.




Famatinanthoideae: South America, 1 genus, 1 species.




Mutisioideae: 58 genera, 750 species. South America.



Stifftioideae: South America and Asia.



Wunderlichioideae: 8 genera, 24 species, mostly in Venezuela and Guyana




Gochnatioideae: 4 or 5 genera, 90 species.




Hecastocleidoideae: Only Hecastocleis shockleyi. Southwestern United States.




Carduoideae: 83 genera, 2,500 species. Worldwide.




Pertyoideae: 5 or 6 genera, 70 species. Asia




Gymnarrhenoideae: Two genera/species, Gymnarrhena micrantha (Northern Africa, Middle East) and Cavea tanguensis (Eastern Himalayas)



Cichorioideae: 224 genera, 3,200 species (chicory, dandelion, lettuce)




Corymbioideae: Only the genus Corymbium, with 9 species.



Asteroideae: 1,130 genera and 16,200 species. (sunchoke, sunflower, yacon)















Uses

Commercially important plants in Asteraceae include the food crops Lactuca sativa (lettuce), Cichorium (chicory), Cynara scolymus (globe artichoke), Helianthus annuus (sunflower), Smallanthus sonchifolius (yacón), Carthamus tinctorius (safflower) and Helianthus tuberosus (Jerusalem artichoke). Plants are used as herbs and in herbal teas and other beverages. Chamomile, for example, comes from two different species: the annual Matricaria chamomilla (German chamomile) and the perennial Chamaemelum nobile (Roman chamomile). Calendula (known as pot marigold) is grown commercially for herbal teas and potpourri. Echinacea is used as a medicinal tea. The wormwood genus Artemisia includes absinthe (A. absinthium) and tarragon (A. dracunculus). Winter tarragon (Tagetes lucida), is commonly grown and used as a tarragon substitute in climates where tarragon will not survive.
