Muilla is a genus of monocots in the family Asparagaceae. It includes four to five species of flowering plants.
Taxonomy
The genus name is a taxonomic anagram of Allium (in fact, the letters are in exact reverse order), the onion genus, for the flowers' resemblance.[1]
In the APG III classification system, it is placed in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Brodiaeoideae.[2][3] The subfamily has also been treated as a separate family Themidaceae.[4][5][6][7]
Distribution
Muilla species are native to southwestern North America.[5][8]
