Iridoideae and included in the family
Iridaceae. It contains many perennials which have
cormous rootstocks. The name of the tribe comes from its main genus - ''
Tigridia''. The tribe is native to the
New World.
The flowers do not always have well differentiated petals like in many other
Iridoideae. A considerable proportion of the tribe's members have identical petals as in ''
Nemastylis'' or ''
