The plants known horticulturally as Asters are now placed in several genera in the Aster Tribe (Astereae) of the Daisy Family (Asteraceae). The more horticulturally important perennial genera are Aster, Doellingeria, Eurybia, and Symphyotrichum.

In addition, there are also the annual China-asters (Callistephus chinensis), as shown in posts #7, 8, and 9.
