|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 Bloomeria clevelandii to Muilla. However, molecular and morphological evidence indicates that B. clevelandii, B. crocea, and B. humilis, all treated here under Bloomeria, are more closely related to Triteleia, and that the three species treated here under Muilla are more closely related to Androstephium (R. Y. Berg and J. R. Maze 1966; J. C. Pires 2000).</p>
