Haemanthinae
Haemanthinae is a small subtribe of Haemantheae, and therefore within the African clades of Amaryllidoideae. It consists of two genera, ''Haemanthus'', and ''Scadoxus''. Description The genera of Haemanthinae share brush-like inflorescences, in which the bracts frequently form part of the pollinator attraction system. Not all ''Scadoxus'' form bulbs, while all species of ''Haemanthus'' do. Taxonomy For the early taxonomic history of these two genera, see Meerow and Clayton (2004). Pax (1888) treated the Amaryllidaceae as four subfamilies, with two tribes in subfamily Amarylloideae, which consisted of two tribes, Amaryllideae and Narcisseae. The former contained six subtribes, placing ''Haemanthus'' together with ''Clivia'' in subtribe Haemanthinae. Hutchinson (1934) subsequently elevated this to tribe Haemantheae. Later, Traub placed ''Haemanthus'' with ''Choananthus'' (subsequently submerged in ''Scadoxus'') in tribe Haemantheae in his 1963 monograph on the Amaryllidacea ...

Haemantheae
Haemantheae are a tribe of subfamily Amaryllidoideae (family Amaryllidaceae). They are herbaceous monocot perennial flowering plants with a predominantly African distribution. Three subtribes are proposed and six genera including the type genus, ''Haemanthus'', are included. They are characterised by the presence of baccate (berry) fruit. Taxonomy Phylogeny The placement of Haemantheae within subfamily Amaryllidoideae is shown in the following cladogram: Subdivision There are three subtribes, with six genera * Cliviinae D.Müll.-Doblies & U.Müll.-Doblies * Haemanthinae Pax * Gethyllidinae Meerow The subtribes are related as follows: Cliviinae: Two genera - ''Clivia'', ''Cryptostephanus'' Haemanthinae: Type - two genera, ''Haemanthus'', ''Scadoxus'' Gethyllidinae: Two genera - ''Apodolirion ''Apodolirion'' is a genus of herbaceous, perennial and bulbous plants in the Amaryllis family ( Amaryllidaceae, subfamily Amaryllidoideae).
