"""Helianthus"" is derived from Greek, meaning 'sun-flower' ('heli' meaning 'sun', and 'anthus', as in 'anther', meaning 'flower'). As the large, yellow-gold heads of many species tend to follow the sun, the Italian-derived 'girare-sole', literally meaning 'turning sun', is also a cognate with 'Jerusalem', as in Jerusalem Artichoke. ""Nuttallii"" is named for Thomas Nuttall (1786-1859), a grower of American plants at Rainhill in Lancashire, though he lived in Long Preston in Yorkshire.

"about the size and distribution of the tribe apply to a broad definition of Heliantheae, which was followed throughout the 20th century. Some recent authors break the tribe up into a dozen or so smaller tribes. Commercially important plants in the Heliantheae include sunflower and Jerusalem artichoke. Many garden flowers are also in this group, such as ""Coreopsis"", ""Cosmos"", ""Echinacea"", ""Rudbeckia"", and ""Zinnia"". Some authors place ""Coreopsis"" and ""Cosmos"" in the Coreopsideae tribe. In addition to the benefits brought by the group, some are also problematic weeds. Species of ""Ambrosia"" (ragweed) produce large quantities of pollen. Each plant is reputed"

"of the global sunflower crop is directly eaten as “nuts” or kernels. There are 82 species of sunflowers (genus ""Helianthus""), all native to North America. Of these, 38 are perennials. Sunflower breeders have crossed many of these species with the crop sunflower because they are a source of useful genes. Perennial sunflowers survive the winter by storing food in underground freezing-tolerant stems called rhizomes. Rhizomes enable a plant to spread into new territory. Tubers are storage organs and are modified rhizomes. Native Americans domesticated the wild perennial sunflower ""Helianthus tuberosus"" by selecting individuals with larger tubers.
