Name

Caryophylleae Lam. & DC., Syn. Pl. Fl. Gall.: 386. (1806)

• Type genus: Caryophyllus Mill., (1754) nom. illeg. non L., (1753) ≡ Dianthus L., (1753)
  

Note: The above circumscription has been dismantled by Madhani et al. (2018) and many combinations are available for use in their treatment. However, that is not always the case and in addition, not all authorities are using their synonymy and generic circumscriptions. However, where there is consensus chnages will be made.
