Taxonomic remark Basionym: Thismia sect. Afrothismia Engler, 1905. Assigned to Thismiaceae in GRIN, however latter currently included in Burmanniaceae in APG III (though may be distinct). Cheek et al., 2024 propose a new monotypic family Afrothismiaceae for this genus, however as at July 2024 that new family placement is not included in either Plants of the World Online or Tropicos (a situation that could change). [details]
