Taxonomy
[edit | edit source]The genus name is a taxonomic anagram of Allium (in fact, the letters are in exact reverse order), the onion genus, for the flowers' resemblance.[1]
In the APG III classification system, it is placed in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Brodiaeoideae.[2][3] The subfamily has also been treated as a separate family Themidaceae.[4][5][6][7]
