Amaryllideae are a tribe of subfamily Amaryllidoideae (family Amaryllidaceae). They are herbaceous monocot perennial flowering plants with a predominantly South African distribution, with the exception of the pantropical genus Crinum. They are generally treated as consisting of four subtribes. In addition to Crinum, other genera include Amaryllis, Boophone and Strumaria.^[2]

Subdivision

There are four subtribes:

• Amaryllidinae Pax^[3]
• Boophoninae D.Müll.-Doblies & U.Müll.-Doblies^[4]
• Crininae Baker^[5]
• Strumariinae Traub ex D.Müll.-Doblies & U.Müll.-Doblies^[6]

These are phylogenetically related as follows:

Tribe Amaryllideae	Subtribe Amaryllidinae Subtribe Boophoninae Subtribe Strumariinae Subtribe Crininae

Amaryllidinae: Type. Monogeneric subtribe for genus Amaryllis.

Boophoninae: Monogeneric subtribe for genus Boophone.

Crininae: Three genera including Crinum.

Strumariinae: Six genera including Strumaria and Nerine.
