--><p>The two genera of Haemodoraceae found in North America are very different from each other. <i>Lachnanthes</i> belongs to tribe Haemodoreae and is morphologically similar to Dilatris P. J. Bergius of South Africa and Haemodorum Smith of Oceania. The relationships of <i>Lophiola</i> are more obscure and are discussed more fully in the references cited below and under that genus.</p>
