# Cestroideae

Cestroideae (syn. Browallioideae) is a subfamily of the plant family Solanaceae, the nightshades.

It currently contains the three tribes and seven genera, as follows:

* Browallieae Hunz.
   * Browallia L.
   * Streptosolen (Benth.) Miers
* Cestreae Don
   * Cestrum L.
   * Sessea Ruiz & Pav.
   * Vestia Willd.
* Salpiglossideae (Benth.) Hunz.
   * Reyesia Gay
   * Salpiglossis Ruiz & Pav.

With the (current) exceptions of the genera Sessea and Reyesia, the subfamily furnishes many colourful garden plants of considerable horticultural merit.
