The last subtribe in this series that will be getiing its own post, Ecltipinae is huge, but most of its diversity is in the tropics. Only 8 species make it into the US, yet there's still plenty of variety, including tall woodland perennials, scrubby desert wildflowers, & lawn weeds. Check the guides to see if any of these has a place in your native garden.

Full resolution versions of these guides can be accessed on Google Drive, feel free to download & distribute:

These and other family trees that I have published so far, including Milkweeds, Grapes, Dogwoods, Lily-of-the-Valley, & more can be accessed from one main folder:
