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).

Amaryllidoideae
Amaryllidoideae (Amaryllidaceae ''s.s.'', amaryllids) is a subfamily of monocot flowering plants in the family Amaryllidaceae, order Asparagales. The most recent APG classification, APG III, takes a broad view of the Amaryllidaceae, which then has three subfamilies, one of which is Amaryllidoideae (the old family Amaryllidaceae), and the others are Allioideae (the old family Alliaceae) and Agapanthoideae (the old family Agapanthaceae). The subfamily consists of about seventy genera, with over eight hundred species, and a worldwide distribution. Description The Amaryllidoideae are herbaceous, perennial flowering plants, usually with bulbs (some are rhizomatous). Their fleshy leaves are arranged in two vertical columns, and their flowers are large. Most of them are bulbous geophytes and many have a long history of cultivation as ornamental plants. They are distinguished from the other two Amaryllidaceae subfamilies (Agapanthoideae and Allioideae) by their unique alkaloidal ...

Gethyllidinae
Gethyllidinae is a small subtribe within the amaryllis family. It is within tribe Haemantheae, and therefore within the African clades of Amaryllidoideae. It contains two genera, ''Gethyllis'' and ''Apodolirion'', both are endemic to southern Africa. Description ''Gethyllis'' and ''Apodolirion'' are two unifloral genera with fused spathe bracts that retain the ovary inside the bulbs until the fruit matures. In both the scape remains inside the bulbs. The fruit is large, fleshy, and aromatic with many seeds, and distinct from the rest of Haemantheae which have berry fruits with only a few seeds. These seeds are also small and hard, while the rest of Haemantheae have seeds that are larger, fleshy and water rich. The genera are also distinguished from each other by their stigmata. In ''Gethyllis'' this is capitate, while in ''Apodolirion'' it is trifid. Also, ''Apodolirion'' has six stamina while ''Gethyllis'' has many more, with some species having 18 or more.

Cliviinae
Cliviinae is a small subtribe of Haemantheae, and therefore within the African clades of Amaryllidoideae. It consists of two genera, ''Clivia'', and ''Cryptostephanus''. Description Bulbless rhizomatous perennial plants. ''Clivia'' has showy orange or yellow flowers, while ''Cryptostephanus'' has smaller flowers with a paraperigone that had them erroneously classified with Narcissus in the past. it is also the only Haemantheae genus with a phytomelanous seed testa. Taxonomy For the early taxonomic history of these two genera, see Meerow and Clayton (2004). ( Traub described this grouping as tribe Clivieae in his 1963 monograph on the Amaryllidaceae, based on the type genus ''Clivia''. . Subsequently, the Müller-Doblies' reduced it to a subtribe and placed it within the Haemantheae. Later molecular phylogenetic research has confirmed this placement, with Cliviinae being one of three subtribes of Haemantheae. Phylogeny The Cliviinae are placed within the Haemantheae as ...

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 ...

Amaryllidaceae
The Amaryllidaceae are a family of herbaceous, mainly perennial and bulbous (rarely rhizomatous) flowering plants in the monocot order Asparagales. The family takes its name from the genus ''Amaryllis'' and is commonly known as the amaryllis family. The leaves are usually linear, and the flowers are usually bisexual and symmetrical, arranged in umbels on the stem. The petals and sepals are undifferentiated as tepals, which may be fused at the base into a floral tube. Some also display a corona. Allyl sulfide compounds produce the characteristic odour of the onion subfamily (Allioideae). The family, which was originally created in 1805, now contains about 1600 species, divided into about 70–75 genera, 17 tribes and three subfamilies, the Agapanthoideae (agapanthus), Allioideae (onions and chives) and Amaryllidoideae (amaryllis, daffodils, snowdrops). Over time, it has seen much reorganisation and at various times was combined with the related Liliaceae. Since 2009, a very broa ...

Stenomesseae
Stenomesseae was a tribe (in the family Amaryllidaceae, subfamily Amaryllidoideae), where it forms part of the Andean clade, one of two American clades. The tribe was originally described by Traub in his monograph on the Amaryllidaceae in 1963, as Stenomessae based on the type genus '' Stenomesson''. In 1995 it was recognised that Eustephieae was a distinct group separate from the other Stenomesseae. Subsequently, the Müller-Doblies' (1996) divided tribe Eustephieae into two subtribes, Stenomessinae and Eustephiinae. The advent of molecular phylogenetics showed that the Stemomesseae (including Stenomesson) was polyphyletic. Consequently, a separate tribe (Clinantheae) was created from one group and the remainder, which segregated with Eucharideae ''Eucharideae'' is a tribe of plants within the family Amaryllidaceae. It was augmented in 2000 by Meerow ''et al.'' following a molecular phylogenetic study that revealed that many elements of the tribe Stenomesseae segregated wit ...

Narcisseae
Narcisseae is a small tribe of plants belonging to the subfamily Amaryllidoideae of the Amaryllis family ( Amaryllidaceae), where it forms part of the Eurasian clade, and is one of three tribes in the European (Mediterranean) clade. It contains two genera ('' Narcissus'' and '' Sternbergia'') and approximately 58 species, but probably also '' Lapiedra''. The two genera are distinguished from each other by the presence of a paraperigonium in the former. Description Characterised by a solid scape and spathaceous bracts fused into a floral tube (basally connate).
