Eupatorieae is a tribe of over 2000[3] species of plants in the aster family. The tribe includes both Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere plants. Well-known members are Stevia rebaudiana (known for its sweet leaves), a number of medicinal plants (for example in Eupatorium), and a variety of late summer to autumn blooming garden flowers, including Ageratum and Conoclinium (mistflower).
Plants in this tribe have only disc florets (no ray florets) and petals which are white, slightly yellowish off-white, pink, or purple (never a full yellow).[4][5]
Within the aster family, the Eupatorieae are nested within what has traditionally been the Heliantheae (broadly defined). Because this leads to a paraphyletic Heliantheae, various authors have proposed either making the Eupatorieae a subtribe within the Heliantheae, or breaking the Heliantheae into a dozen or so tribes.[4]

[edit] Classification
Although the genus Eupatorium has at times contained as many as a third of the species in the tribe,[7] all but a few dozen of its species have been gradually moved into other genera.
A partial phylogeny of the tribe (focusing on Eupatorium and some of the other North American genera) is:[1]

Although the division of the tribe into subtribes is still not clear (with some past divisions not being supported by molecular data[1]), several subtribes not covered above are:
- Gyptidinae, found mostly in eastern Brazil. Agrianthus, Campuloclinium, Lasiolaena, and Trichogonia.[3]
- Critoniinae. Critonia, Fleischmanniopsis, Ophryosporus, and Neocabreria.[3]
