Tulipeae

Tulipa sylvestris subsp. australis with seedpod (right), 1804

The Tulipeae (syn. Tulipoideae) (Duby)[1] is a tribe of monocotyledon perennial, herbaceous mainly bulbous flowering plants in the Liliaceae (Lily) family.[2]

The tribe contained four genera as conceived by Takhtadzhi︠an:[3]

Later only Tulipa and Erythronium were included, and Gagea was added. It has been considered either a tribe of the subfamily Lilioideae, or a subfamily of Liliaceae itself (Tulipoideae).[4] However it has been proposed that Gagea should be in its own tribe, the Lloydieae.[5]
