Tulipeae

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

As originally conceived by Duby (1828), "Tulipaceae" was a tribe within Liliaceae, consisting of the genera Tulipa, Fritillaria and Lilium.

[2] Tulipeae remained a core group of the Liliaceae, containing the type genus, Lilium for most of its taxonomic history.

For instance, Bentham and Hooker (1883),[3] placed Lilium together with Tulipa and five other genera in Liliaceae tribe Tulipeae.
