The Astereae consist of the asters, goldenrods, and related plants. Recent nomenclatural changes have removed almost all of the North American asters from the Aster genus itself. A general reference used here for this trib is John C. Semple's Astereae Lab website.[1]

Bellis

edit
 
Bellis perennis, English lawn daisy
Bellis contains about 15 Old-world species commonly known as daisies. Of these, only the lawn daisy is known to have naturalized to any extent in New York or the rest of North America.[1] A number of cultivars have been developed for horticultural purposes, and it's also considered to be a common lawn weed.

Baccharis

edit
 
Baccharis halimifolia,
groundsel tree
The only species of Baccharis growing wild in New York is eastern baccharis or groundsel-tree, a small tree or shrub, native to the Atlantic and Gulf coastal plain, and found in saline habitats from Nova Scotia to Mexico. This plant is considered to be weedy in the south and highly invasive in Australia, France, and Spain where it has been introduced.[1]

Ericameria

Ericameria nauseosa
The approximately 37 species of genus Ericameria (goldenbushes) and their many varieties are all native to western North America.[1]

However, Ericameria nauseosa var. oreophila (identified as syn. Chrysothamnus pinifolius) was one of many western plants contaminating grass seed planted on public land in Rochester, New York in 1909.[2] See Plants of Monroe County.

Symphyotrichum lateriflorum
The Dumosi asters (Symphyotrichum subsect. Dumosi) asters native to most of North America, Mexico and the northern West Indies.[1] There are about eight species (13 taxa overall) of this subsection that are native to New York State.

The USDA-NRCS Plants database list the four varieties of calico aster (Symphyotrichum lateriflorum) as present in New York. However, the New York Flora Atlas, citing Flora of North America (Brouillet et al. 2006), does not attempt to break the species down into infraspecific taxa.

Subtribe "eurybioid asters"

edit
The unplaced "eurybioid asters" include the genera Oreostemma, Herrickia, Eurybia, and Triniteurybia, of which, only Eurybia contains species that are native to New York.

Eurybia

edit
Eurybia contains what Semple (2014) calls the "Eurybian Asters." It is separated here according to Semple's morphologically based intra-generic classification. Of the New York native Eurybia species, those of sect. Eurybia (Biotia) have heart-shaped (cordate) basal leaves, while those of sect. Calliastrum have oblanceolate or obovate basal leaves.[1][2][3]

Fleabanes (Erigeron spp.) have very narrow and numerous ray flowers that are white, pink, or light purple in color. When open, flower heads are flat with a yellow disk.[1]
