Wunderlichioideae is a subfamily of flowering plants belonging to the family Asteraceae.
The subfamily includes 8 genera and about 24 species that are concentrated in Brasil (Wunderlichia) and Guyana (Chimantaea, Stenopadus and Stomatochaeta), with some species in other South America countries (Hyalis and Ianthopappus) and others (Nouelia and Leucomeris) in South-East Asia and Himalaya.[1] Distinguishing features of the members of this subfamily are presence of styles with glabrous style branches and a deletion in the rpoB gene. Two subtribes, Wunderlicheae and Hyalideae, are recognised.
