The Cichorieae Systematics Portal has been established to provide convenient access to the existing knowledge about the tribe Cichorieae of the sunflower family (Asteraceae or Compositae). The Cichorieae include about 105 genera. Of these, 102 genera comprise somewhat more then 1800 species, while 3 genera, hawkweeds and dandelions (Hieracium, Pilosella, and Taraxacum), add more than 5700 species, microspecies (apomictics) and hybrids. The Cichorieae Systematics Portal is designed on the basis EDIT Platform for Cybertaxonomy, to serve both the specialist and the occasional visitor, providing a geographically referenced species inventory of the entire tribe, offering taxon pages with notes on systematics, descriptions, images, common names, distributional, ecological, specimen and other data, and including full synonymies with references and type citations. The available data are continuously being completed and updated. In the long run, the Cichorieae Systematics Portal aims at presenting an ever up-to-date encyclopedic knowledge base of the tribe, with interactive keys to allow easy identification of its members.Taxonomic Coverages
