Classification
Vernonia Schreb. (1791), nom. cons.
Since the revision by Robinson (1999), genus Vernonia contains only American species. As a consequence, the about 750 Old World species must be reclassified in several genera:
tribe Vernonieae
sub-tribe Vernoniinae
- Eirmocephala
- Vernonia
sub-tribe Erlangeinae
- Ambassa
- Bechium
- Cyanthillium
- Hilliardiella
- Orbivestus
- Parapolydora (absent from Kubitzki)
- Polydora
- Vernoniastrum
sub-tribe Centrapalinae
sub-tribe Gymnantheminae
