Name

Fusifilum Raf., Fl. Tellur. 2: 27 (1837)

• Type species: non designatus

Notes

This genus was proposed as a synonym of Drimia Jacq. ex Willd. (1799) by Manning et al., (2004) and Tropicos (2015), but not by Müller-Doblies et al., (2001) and Govaerts et al., (2019). Descriptions required to transfer most of the above combinations from this genus to Drimia have not been published and so this circumscription must stay.
