with suckers, with narrow or lanceolate radical leaves; P or (P) ; 
anthers introrse or semi-introrse ; ovary sup. or J-inf.; fruit with thin 
pericarp and i — 3 seeds with fleshy coats): Sansevieria, Ophiopogon. 
IX. ALETROIDEAE (short rhizome with narrow or lanceo- 
late radical leaves; (P); anthers semi-introrse; capsule loculicidal; 
seeds 00 , with thin testa) : Aletris (only genus). 
X. LUZURIAGOIDEAE (shrubs or undershrubs with erect 
or climbing twigs ; infl. -twigs usually many-flowered, cymose, rarely
