It includes 3 genera with 22 species endemic to Brazil in [South America](/source/South_America). A typical character of the representatives of the tribe are the flowers - They are blue or lilac and collected into an [umbel](/source/umbel). Only the members of this tribe and the genus ''[Lycoris](/source/Lycoris_(plant))'' are able to form flowers with such color in the whole subfamily Amaryllidoideae of [Amaryllidaceae](/source/Amaryllidaceae). The species in this group are typically perennial and produce bulbs. The leaves are green, with elliptical form in most of the cases but in some members, as in ''[Worsleya](/source/Worsleya),'' they are sword-shaped.{{sfn|Vigneron|2008}} == Taxonomy == The Müller-Doblies' (1996) placed ''Griffinia'' in its own subtribe Griffiniinae (of tribe [Hippeastreae](/source/Hippeastreae)) and did not recognise ''Worsleya'', which they submerged in ''[Phycella](/source/Phycella)''.{{sfn|Müller-Doblies|Müller-Doblies|1996}} In contrast, Meerow and Snijman (1998) resurrected it, placing both genera within Hippeastreae.{{sfn|Meerow|Snijman|1998}} Subsequently, molecular phylogenetic studies demonstrated that Griffineae was a distinct and separate tribe.{{sfn|Meerow|Snijman|2006}} The type genus is ''Griffinia'' {{au|Ker Gawl.}} === Phylogeny === The placement of Griffineae within subfamily Amaryllidoideae is shown in the following cladogram, where this tribe is shown as a [sister group](/source/sister_group) to the [Hippeastreae](/source/Hippeastreae), forming the Hippeastroid subclade, of two American [clades](/source/clades):{{sfn|Meerow et al.|2000}} {{cladogram | title= {{anchor|Clad3}}Cladogram: Tribes of subfamily Amaryllidoideae | align=left | cladogram={{clade|style=font-size:92%;line-height:100%;width:700px; | label1 = Subfamily '''[Amaryllidoideae](/source/Amaryllidoideae)''' |1= {{Clade | label1= Africa | 1= Tribe [Amaryllideae](/source/Amaryllideae) | 2= {{Clade | 1= {{clade | label1=Africa | 1= Tribe [Cyrtantheae](/source/Cyrtantheae) | 2= {{clade | label1=Africa | 1= Tribe [Haemantheae](/source/Haemantheae) | label2= Australasia | 2= Tribe [Calostemmateae](/source/Calostemmateae) }} }} | 2= {{clade | label1= Eurasian clade | label2= American clade | 1= {{clade | label1= Asia | 1= Tribe [Lycorideae](/source/Lycorideae) | label2= Mediterranean | 2= {{clade | 1= Tribe [Galantheae](/source/Galantheae) | 2= {{clade | 1= Tribe [Pancratieae](/source/Pancratieae) | 2= Tribe [Narcisseae](/source/Narcisseae) }} }} }} | 2= {{clade | label1= Hippeastroid clade | label2= Andean clade | 1= {{clade | 1= Tribe '''Griffineae''' | 2= Tribe [Hippeastreae](/source/Hippeastreae) }} | 2= {{clade | 1= {{clade | 1= Tribe [Eustephieae](/source/Eustephieae) }} | 2= {{clade | 1= Tribe [Eucharideae](/source/Eucharideae)/[Stenomesseae](/source/Stenomesseae) | 2= {{clade | 1= {{clade | 1= Tribe [Clinantheae](/source/Clinantheae) | 2= Tribe [Hymenocallideae](/source/Hymenocallideae) }} }} }} }} }} }} }} }} }} }} {{Clear}} === Subdivision === The tribe Griffineae includes the following three genera: * ''[Griffinia](/source/Griffinia)'' Ker Gawl. * ''[Worsleya](/source/Worsleya)'' (Traub) Traub * ''[Cearanthes](/source/Cearanthes)'' Ravenna == References == {{Reflist}} ==Bibliography== {{Refbegin|30em}} * {{cite web|title=Amaryllidaceae: A taxonomic tool for the Amaryllidaceae of the world|publisher=[eMonocot](/source/eMonocot)|url=http://amaryllidaceae.e-monocot.org/|ref={{harvid|eMonocot|2016}}|access-date=2016-02-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304161517/http://amaryllidaceae.e-monocot.org/|archive-date=2016-03-04|url-status=dead}} * {{cite book|editor-last=Kubitzki|editor-first=K.|editor-link=Klaus Kubitzki|title=The Families and Genera of Vascular Plants.
