This tribe contains 1,700 - 2,000 species in more than 150 genera.[3]
These orchids are pantropical epiphytes and occur in tropical Asia, the Pacific Islands, Australia and Africa. Many of these orchids are horticulturally important, especially Vanda and Phalaenopsis.
This tribe is subdivided into four subtribes:[4]

The subtribe Aerangidinae Summerh. is increasingly included within Angraecinae. The subtribe Angraecinae is a well supported, monophyletic group under the inclusion of Aerangidinae. Separating these groups would make them polyphyletic.[6][7]
The divergence time of Vandeae has been estimated to be 25.31 Mya.[1]
