The Cichorieae (also called Lactuceae) are a tribe in the plant family Asteraceae that includes 93 genera, more than 1,600 sexually reproductive species and more than 7,000 Apomixis, apomictic species. They are found primarily in temperate regions of the Eastern Hemisphere. Cichorieae all have milky latex and flowerheads that only contain one type of Glossary of botanical terms#floret, floret. The genera ''Gundelia'' and ''Warionia'' only have Asteraceae#Floral heads, disk florets, while all other genera only have Asteraceae#Floral heads, ligulate florets. The genera that contain most species are ''Taraxacum'' (Crepidinae subtribe) with about 1,600 apomictic species, ''Hieracium'' with about 770 sexually reproducing and 5,200 apomictic species, and ''Pilosella'' with 110 sexually reproducing and 700 apomictic species (both Hieraciinae).
