The Pyreae form a tribe in the subfamily of the Spiraeoideae of the rose family . The tribe includes the sub-tribus of the pome fruit plants (Pyrinae) and the following three genera:
The pomaceous fruit plants were previously run as the subfamily Pyrinae of the rose family. Molecular genetic studies showed that they form a group within the Spiraeoideae . Potter et al. have therefore defined the group as the Subtribe Pyrinae. The base chromosome number of the Pyreae is x = 17, in the genus Vauquelinia x = 15.
Kageneckia oblonga
Vauquelinia californica
Lindleya mespiloides
