Coussareeae are a
Neotropical clade of morphologically
heterogeneous plants in the subfamily
Rubioideae of the coffee
family
(Rubiaceae). The tribe encompasses about 330 species assigned to ten genera:
Bradea,
Coccocypselum,
Coussarea,
Cruckshanksia,
Declieuxia,

,
Heterophyllaea,
Hindsia,

systematics without proposed morphological synapomorphies.
