Triteleia

Triteleia is a genus of monocotyledon flowering plants also known as triplet lilies.

[1][2][3] They are perennial plants growing from a fibrous corm roughly spherical in shape.

The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group's 2009 revision placed the genus in family Asparagaceae, subfamily Brodiaeoideae[4] (having previously placed treated Brodiaeoideae as a separate family Themidaceae).

Varieties and subspecies have been proposed within several other Triteleia species, but these are no longer widely accepted.

A 2002 phylogenetic review of related genera found four clades within Triteleia that were all supported with 100 percent jackknife resampling values:[5]
