Blake Until 2011, when botanists Schilling & Panero studied the subtribe Helianthinae based on molecular sequences of nuclear ITS, ETS, and cpDNA, coming to a conclusion that the genus Viguiera , did not constitute a monophyletic group. Among their conclusions they proposed to reclassify the genus, dividing and relocating its species in at least eleven genera: Aldama , Bahiopsis , Calanticaria , Davilanthus , Dendroviguiera , Gonzalezia , Heiseria , Heliomeris , Hymenostephium , Sidneya and Viguiera .
