|discussion=<p>Species 3 (3 in the flora).</p><!--
--><p>The distribution of the species in this genus is poorly documented (L. W. Lenz 1975b; J. R. Shevock 1984). R. F. Hoover (1955) transferred <i>Bloomeria clevelandii</i> to <i>Muilla</i>. However, molecular and morphological evidence indicates that <i>B. clevelandii</i>, <i>B. crocea</i>, and <i>B. humilis</i>, all treated here under <i>Bloomeria</i>, are more closely related to <i>Triteleia</i>, and that the three species treated here under <i>Muilla</i> are more closely related to <i>Androstephium</i> (R. Y. Berg and J. R. Maze 1966; J. C. Pires 2000).</p>
