Systematization of the subfamilies, tribes and genera of Asteraceae present in Paraguay

Asteraceae comprises one of the largest and most dominant botanical families of flowering plants in the world. Asteraceae is also one of the most diverse and widely distributed families of the Paraguayan flora, although it has still not been treated in its entirety and thus several information gaps...

Asteraceae is also one of the most diverse and widely distributed families of the Paraguayan flora, although it has still not been treated in its entirety and thus several information gaps remain. Based on recent phylogenetic studies, Asteraceae is currently classified into 16 subfamilies and 50 tribes. The objective of this study was to systematize the subfamilies, tribes and genera of Asteraceae present in Paraguay and determine the groups of poorly studied genera and species. The methodology consisted of a review of available literature, herbarium specimens and online databases. Eight subfamilies, 21 tribes, 157 genera, and 543 currently accepted species have been recorded for the flora of Paraguay; subfamily Asteroideae is best represented, with 13 tribes and 117 genera, among which the tribes Eupatorieae (35 genera) and Heliantheae (28 genera) stand out. An artificial key to the identification of tribes occurring in Paraguay is presented, based mainly on diagnostic floral characters, and others that are notable for their particularity, such as the habit of the plant, the presence of thorns, among others. Asteraceae constituye una de las mayores familias botánicas de plantas con flores y más dominante en la tierra. Para la flora del Paraguay es una de las más diversas y de mayor distribución; sin embargo, no ha sido tratada en su totalidad por lo cual aún existen vacíos de información. Según estudios filogenéticos recientes, Asteraceae se clasifica actualmente en 16 subfamilias y 50 tribus. Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo realizar una sistematización de las subfamilias, tribus y géneros de Asteraceae presentes en Paraguay y determinar grupos de géneros y especies escasamente tratados. La metodología incluyó revisión de literatura disponible, ejemplares de herbario y bases de datos en internet. Para la flora del Paraguay fueron registradas ocho subfamilias, 21 tribus, 157 géneros y 543 especies actualmente aceptadas; siendo la subfamilia Asteroideae la mejor representada, con 13 tribus y 117 géneros, destacándose Eupatorieae (35 géneros) y Heliantheae (28 géneros). Se presenta una clave artificial para la identificación de tribus presentes en Paraguay, basada en caracteres florales diagnósticos y otros aspectos que son notables por su particularidad, como el hábito de la planta, la presencia de espinas, entre otros.
