Revisiting the taxonomy of the Neotropical Haemodoraceae (Commelinales).

Based on extensive herbarium, field, botanical illustration, and molecular phylogenetic research, five genera and eight species are recognised for the Neotropical Haemodoraceae. New taxa include Hopper et al., M.Pell. et al. and M.Pell. et al. Two new combinations are made, (C.Wright ex Griseb.) Hopper et al. and (Maas & Stoel) Hopper et al. We also correct the author citation for , provide the necessary typifications for several names and present an updated identification key, comments, and photo plates for all species. Finally, we provide high-quality illustrations for most of the recognised species and their diagnostic characters.
