Haemantheae
Haemantheae are a tribe of subfamily Amaryllidoideae (family Amaryllidaceae). They are herbaceous monocot perennial flowering plants with a predominantly African distribution. Three subtribes are proposed and six genera including the type genus, Haemanthus, are included. They are characterised by the presence of baccate (berry) fruit.[2]

Subdivision
There are three subtribes, with six genera
- Cliviinae D.Müll.-Doblies & U.Müll.-Doblies
- Haemanthinae Pax
- Gethyllidinae Meerow
The subtribes are related as follows:
