秋水仙科科

本科植物一般含有有毒的秋水仙碱，以前的分类法多不承认有此科存在，其中的各种类大部分被分到百合科的各属中，1998年根据基因亲缘关系分类的APG 分类法将这些属以及一些分散在其他属中的种统一划归为秋水仙科。其中部分种类为观赏花卉被引种到世界各地。

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.

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

As of June 2026, Plants of the World Online accepted the following genera, arranged below as in the 2007 phylogenetic classification of Vinnersten and Manning:

tribe Burchardieae

Burchardia R.Br.

tribe Uvularieae

Disporum Salisb. (excluding the North American species to the genus Prosartes D.Don, now in the family Liliaceae, Liliales)

Uvularia L.

tribe Tripladenieae

Kuntheria Conran & Clifford

Schelhammera R.Br.

Tripladenia D.Don

tribe Iphigenieae

Camptorrhiza Hutch.

Iphigenia Kunth

tribe Anguillarieae

Baeometra Salisb. ex Endl.

• Wurmbea Thunb. (including Neodregea C.H.Wright and Onixotis Raf.)
• tribe Colchiceae
• Colchicum L. (including Androcymbium Willd., Bulbocodium L. and Merendera Ramond)
• Gloriosa L. (including Littonia Hook.)
• Hexacyrtis Dinter

Ornithoglossum Salisb.

Sandersonia Hook.

The genus Petermannia F.Muell. is excluded from this family and placed in its own family Petermanniaceae, Liliales. The former controversy regarding the inclusion of Androcymbium in Colchicum has now been resolved in favor of the 2007 classification of Manning et al. who included Androcymbium in Colchicum. This is supported by molecular phylogenetic studies with dense species sampling (i.e. 41 species previously placed in Androcymbium and 96 species of Colchicum) that showed that the type species of Androcymbium, A. melanthioides (Colchicum melanthioides), is more closely related to species of Colchicum than it is to many species traditionally placed in Androcymbium.

Subsequently, Nguyen et al.(2013) proposed reclassifying the family on the basis of subfamilies:

Subfamily Uvularioideae (distribution: Eastern Asia and North America)

Tribe Uvularieae (Disporum, Uvularia)

Subfamily Wurmbeoideae (distribution: Australia, Africa, Europe, central and tropical Asia)

• Tribe Burchardieae (Burchardia)
• Tribe Tripladenieae (Tripladenia, Schelhammera, Kuntheria)
• Tribe Iphigenieae (Iphigenia, Camptorrhiza)
• Tribe Angullarieae (Wurmbea, Onixotis, Neodregea, Baeometra)

Tribe Colchiceae (Gloriosa (including Littonia), Colchicum (including Merendera, Bulbocodium, and probably Androcymbium), Hexacyrtis, Ornithoglossum, Sandersonia
