Abstract
Based on available data from morphology, palynology and phytochemistry, the systematic position of the genus Cratystylis (Asteraceae) is reevaluated. The character distribution is discussed and compared to that of other Asteraceae tribes. A cladistic parsimony analysis is undertaken to elucidate the results of the comparison. Cratystylis is removed from the vicinity of the Inuleae s.l., and a new tentative position among the tribes of the paraphyletic 'Cichorioideae' is proposed for this isolated genus. The pollen of Cratystylis is described and illustrated.
