Subtribe of flowering plants
Strumariinae is one of four subtribes within the tribe Amaryllideae (subfamily Amaryllidoideae , family Amaryllidaceae ), found in southern Africa.
Description
Crossyne guttata , showing prostrate leaves
The leaves are often prostrate (on the ground). The flowers may be zygomorphic or actinomorphic, and may or may not have a perigone tube . The stamens are connate (fused) into a tube at their proximal end. However Strumaria has one whorl of the stamens fused to the style . The fruit is dehiscent with seeds that have a well-developed integument that is chlorophyllous with a stomatose testa .
