Colchicaceae
Colchicaceae is a family of flowering plants that includes 15 genera with a total of about 285 known species according to Christenhusz and Byng in 2016. Description The family is characterized by the presence of colchicine. Taxonomy The APG III system, of 2009 (unchanged from the APG systems, of 1998 and 2003), recognizes this family and places it in the order Liliales, in the clade monocots. It is a group of herbaceous perennials with rhizomes or corms. The Dahlgren system and the Thorne system (1992) also recognized this family, and placed it in order Liliales in superorder Lilianae in subclass Liliidae (monocotyledons) of class Magnoliopsida (angiosperms). Genera The following is an alphabetic list of genera usually included in this family : The phylogenetic classification of Vinnersten & Manning circumscribes the family as follows: * tribe Burchardieae ** '' Burchardia'' R.Br. * tribe Uvularieae ** '' Disporum'' Salisb.

Schelhammera
''Schelhammera'' is a genus of perennial flowering plants in the family Colchicaceae, comprising two species. *'' Schelhammera undulata'' R.Br., native to New South Wales and Victoria *'' Schelhammera multiflora'' R.Br., native to Queensland, New Guinea and Malesia. The genus was first formerly described by botanist Robert Brown in 1810 in ''Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae''. The genus was named in honour of Günther Christoph Schelhammer. The genus ''Kuntheria'' was described for the third species of ''Schelhammera'', namely ''Schelhammera pedunculata'', by Clifford and Conran for the Australian Flora in 1987. The German botanist Mueller Mueller may refer to: People * Mueller (surname), a surname German in origin Places Antarctica *Mount Mueller (Antarctica) Australia *Mueller College, in Queensland * Mount Mueller (Victoria) * Mueller Park, in Western Australia *Mueller River ... who described it had stated that this taxon "either requires specific distinction, or s ...

Trevor Clifford
Trevor Clifford (1927-2019) was an Australian botanist and taxonomist, distinguished for his work on the hybridisation of species and palaeobotany. Early life Harold Trevor Clifford was born in Melbourne, Australia on April 18, 1927. His father owned a furniture shop and later worked as a green grocer in Perth and Melbourne during the Great Depression. After the completion of school, he took employment with the Victorian Department of Education which offered a scholarship to obtain a teaching degree. He was awarded a Dafydd Lewis scholarship and began his study at the University of Melbourne in 1945. Part of his school studies had been in geology and Clifford considered becoming a geology teacher. He graduated with a science degree in 1948, having majored in geology and botany. Clifford took up employment as a part time tutor in the Department of Botany after graduation and commenced research toward a master's degree on the distribution of eucalypts in the Dandenong Ranges.

Monotypic Liliales Genera
In biology, a monotypic taxon is a taxonomic group (taxon) that contains only one immediately subordinate taxon. A monotypic species is one that does not include subspecies or smaller, infraspecific taxa. In the case of genera, the term "unispecific" or "monospecific" is sometimes preferred. In botanical nomenclature, a monotypic genus is a genus in the special case where a genus and a single species are simultaneously described. In contrast, an oligotypic taxon contains more than one but only a very few subordinate taxa. Examples Just as the term ''monotypic'' is used to describe a taxon including only one subdivision, the contained taxon can also be referred to as monotypic within the higher-level taxon, e.g. a genus monotypic within a family. Some examples of monotypic groups are: Plants * In the order Amborellales, there is only one family, Amborellaceae and there is only one genus, ''Amborella'', and in this genus there is only one species, namely ''Amborella trichopoda.' ...
