Amaryllideae is a tribe of perennial, herbaceous and bulbous plants in the Amaryllis family (Amaryllidaceae, subfamily Amaryllidoideae). Members of this tribe are distributed in Africa, with the exception of the pantropical genus Crinum. Much of the tribe's generic diversity is confined to South Africa.[1]

Description

Amaryllideae is marked by a large number of synapomorphies: extensible fibers in the bulb tunics, bisulculate pollen with spinulose exine, scapes with a sclerenchymatous sheath, unitegmic or ategmic ovules, and nondormant, water-rich, nonphytomelanous seeds with chlorophyllous embryos.[2] A few of the genera extend outside of South Africa proper, but only Crinum, with seeds well suited to oceanic dispersal,[3] ranges through Asia, Australia, and America.[4]
