Hypoxidaceae R. Brown. Stargrass Family.

Key to Hypoxidaceae

A family of about 9 genera and ca. 155 species, tuberous or rhizomatous perennial herbs, subcosmopolitan (though not well distributed in the northern hemisphere of the Old World, and especially diverse in South Africa). The recognition of Hypoxidaceae at the family level is supported by a variety of authors, on morphologic and molecular grounds (Kocyan et al. 2011; Judd 2000).
