452.0000 Family Asteraceae Dumort.; Commentat. Bot. [Dumortier] 55 (1822)
1620 genera, ca. 29.000 spp. (35.000 spp. incl. microspecies). Systematics taken mostly from Funk et al. (2009, 2020) and Zuntini et al. (2024). Barnadesioideae (so far treated as most basal member of Asteraceae) might be a separate family, more related to Calyceraceae.

452.7241 Genus Erigeron L.; Sp. Pl. [Linnaeus] 2: 863 (1753)
Distribution: cosmopolitan, mostly mountains and dry areas of northern hemisphere, esp. North America (173) and Mexico, also many in arctic and high alpine environments, but (almost) completely missing in Africa. New World species of Conyza are completely included here, but many combinations are still missing. African representatives belong to other groups like Nidorella or Eschenbachia.
