Lloydieae

The Lloydieae were a tribe of monocotyledon perennial, herbaceous mainly bulbous flowering plants in the Liliaceae (Lily) family.[1] The tribe was generally considered monogeric, being represented by the single genus Lloydia. But since that genus has at various times and is now considered to be part of the genus Gagea, and therefore in the Lilieae tribe, it was sometimes listed with both genera.[2] Furthermore many authorities place Gagea into a separate tribe, Tulipeae.[3] It has also historically been considered to be a subtribe of the Lilieae.[4] In 2013, Kim et al. proposed splitting off Gagea from the rest of Tulipeae by resurrecting the tribe Lloydieae.[5]
