The subtribe Vernoniinae is one of the most representative of the tribe Vernonieae in Americas with six genera and 49 species in Brazil. The taxonomic treatment of Vernoniinae (Asteraceae, Vernonieae) in Bahia state is presented here. Twenty expeditions were undertook in the state between the years 2010 and 2013 and materials from the main Brazilian herbaria were examined. The subtribe is represented in the state by three genera and 11 species: Vernonanthura (7 species), Cyrtocymura (3) and the monotypic genus Albertinia. Vernonanthura vinhae is endemic to Bahia. Identification keys for genera and species, descriptions, illustrations, maps of geographical distribution and comments on the taxa are presented.
