Vegetative characteristics
There are annual to perennial herbaceous plants or woody plants: Half bushes , shrubs or small trees . The leaves are rarely basal in rosettes or mostly distributed on the stem, mostly alternate, rarely almost opposite, are stalked or sessile and usually simply or rarely divided. The leaf margins are smooth, toothed, serrated or lobed.
Generative characteristics
The basket-shaped inflorescences are usually of branched, doldentraubigen , rispigen total inflorescences together; only at Sachsia do they stand individually. The flower heads are mostly disc-shaped. 12 to about 30 more or less in size and shape different bracts stand together in usually three to more than six rows; their edges and / or tips are usually clearly paper-like. The flat to convex inflorescence base is usually hairless. In the cup-shaped inflorescence there are usually only tubular flowers. Probably only Sachsia has whitish, female, zygomorphic flowers on the edge with a "tongue" that ends with three crown teeth. All flowers are usually pink to purple in color, sometimes whitish, rarely yellow. At the edge there are usually one, rarely two or more rows zygomorpher ray florets , called ray florets; they are mostly female and fertile , there are also functionally male flowers. The radially symmetrical tubular flowers are mostly all hermaphroditic and fertile with mostly four, rarely five corolla lobes. The anthers are usually more or less tailed at their base and have appendages. Usually no appendages can be seen on the stylus.
All achenes of an infructescence are usually the same and smooth or ribbed. In this tribe there is usually a pappus made of mostly bearded to rarely feathery pappus bristles or free to overgrown scales in one or two rows.

The tribe Plucheeae and Gnaphalieae became from the earlier much larger tribe Inuleae Cass. outsourced. The tribe Plucheeae Cass. ex Dumort. was reactivated in 1989 by Arne A. Anderberg, in Canadian Journal of Botany , Volume 67, 2293. But it turned out that Inuleae is not monophyletic without the genera of Plucheeae and Anderberg et al. 2005 write of an Inuleae-Plucheeae complex. The tribe Inuleae s. l. is divided into two subtribes Inulinae Cass. ex Dumort. and Plucheinae Cass. ex Dumort. The tribe Plucheeae, as it is shown here, is probably the subtribe Plucheinae Cass with small differences . ex Dumort. within the tribe Inuleae s. l. This view was not followed in the Flora of North America 2006 and the tribe Plucheeae retained. The rank of tribe or subtribe for this kinship group is controversial.
The taxa of the Plucheeae tribe are native to both the Old World and the New World . It is missing in Europe . There are taxa throughout the Neotropic , Africa, Asia, and Australia. They mostly thrive in tropical and subtropical areas. Some species are neophytes in many countries around the world. The genus Rhodogeron occurs only in Cuba . In Peru there are four genera ( Pluchea , Pseudoconyza , Pterocaulon , Tessaria ) with only about seven species. In North America there are three genera with about twelve species.
