The Cardueae are a tribe of flowering plants in the daisy family (Asteraceae) and the subfamily Carduoideae.[5] Most of them are commonly known as thistles;[6] four of the best known genera are Carduus,[7] Cynara (containing the widely eaten artichoke), Cirsium,[7] and Onopordum.[7]
They are annual, biennial, or perennial herbs. Many species are thorny on leaves, stems, or involucre, and some have laticifers or resin conduits. Almost 80 genera comprising 2500 species are assigned to this tribe,[8] native of temperate regions of Europe and Asia (especially the Mediterranean region and Minor Asia), Australia and tropical Africa; only three[9] genera contain species native to the Americas.[10]
