'''Sisyrinchieae''' is the second largest tribe in the subfamily [Iridoideae](/source/Iridoideae). The group is included in the family [Iridaceae](/source/Iridaceae). It contains many perennials which are widely distributed in the [New World](/source/New_World).

The leaves of the [plant](/source/plant)s are sword-shaped or grass-like. The blooms appear in an inflorescence and have six [tepals](/source/Tepal), which in most cases are identical, but in some genera like ''[Diplarrena](/source/Diplarrena)'' or ''[Libertia](/source/Libertia),'' may differ. The ovary is 3-locular containing small seeds.

The members are sometimes used as ornamental [plant](/source/plant)s. Some are endangered and endemic to specific regions but many are naturalized, including some species of ''[Sisyrinchium](/source/Sisyrinchium)'', in the [Old World](/source/Old_World) and elsewhere.
