sensu APWeb (Retrieved January 2009) Luzuriageae is a tribe of monocotyledonous plants belonging to the family Alstroemeriaceae.
It consists of very few species of perennial plants native to South America (Luzuriaga) and Australia and New Zealand (Drymophila).
They are climbing plants with more or less woody stems and can be recognised by their distichous leaves which are turned "upside down" at the base, and their polysymmetrical white flowers with plain-coloured tepals and a succulent ovary.
The two tribes share vegetative characters such as being climbing plants with twisted leaves so that the upper surface during development becomes lower at maturity, although the ovary is succulent in Alstroemeriaeae.
APWeb (2001 onwards[2]) initially considered it separate but then decided to follow in the footsteps of APG III.
