Description
[edit]


Streptopoideae are herbaceous plants[2] with branched, leafy stems, and red to white berry fruits[3] bearing striate seeds.[4]
Taxonomy
[edit]It was validly published by James Lauritz Reveal in 2012 based on previous work by David John Mabberley.[1]
Genera
[edit]It has three genera:[5]
- Prosartes D.Don
- Scoliopus Torr.
- Streptopus Michx.
Phylogeny
[edit]It is the most basal subfamily within the family Liliaceae, and therefore it is the sister group to the subfamilies Calochortoideae and Lilioideae.[6]
