Haemodoraceae is a family of flowering plants primarily found in Australia and New Guinea. This family includes about 12 genera and 100 species, characterized by their grass-like leaves and vibrant flowers. The plants typically thrive in well-drained soils and are often found in open woodlands and grasslands. Members of the Haemodoraceae family are known for their unique bulbous or rhizomatous roots, which help them store water and nutrients. Some species, like Haemodorum and Anigozanthos, are popular in horticulture for their ornamental flowers, which can attract pollinators such as bees and birds.
