324 SMILACACEAE and also in Eritrea. It is widespread in the Mediterranean area and reaches south to Tanzania and Zaire. It is further found in the Himalayas and on Sri Lanka. It appears to be flowering all year round.
VELLOZIACEAE 325 This family includes about 8 genera, with a center of diversity in South America. Only two, Xerophyta and Talbotia, occur in Africa, the latter restricted to South Africa. The family includes mainly shrubby perennials, with branched stems covered by persistent leaf bases and roots that form a mantle around the stems. The family is probably old, and the Amphiatlantic distribution might go back to the Gondwana continent in the southern hemisphere. It was earlier believed to be related to the family Hypoxidaceae, but modern analyses have not supported this view. It is systematically isolated, and may not be related to lilies at all. Molecular data indicate a relationship to e.g. the screw palms (Pandanus), but morphologically they have little in common. XEROPHYTA Jussieu The genus was described by Jussieu in 1789 and refers to the adaptation to dry habitats (xero = dry, phyton = plant in Greek). The function of the fibrous mantle around the stems is to gather moisture from fogs and rains and at the same time protect the stem from fires. Species of the genus have been shown to survive down to 0% relative humidity, and they revive after being more or less completely dehydrated. In older floras the African representatives was referred to Vellozia, a genus now defined to include only South American members. The plants are often more or less branched shrubs with narrow, leathery, grasslike leaves tufted at the end of the fibrous branches. The flowers are showy, pinkish to whitish, solitary from leaf axils. They are bisexual with an inferior ovary. The six petallike tepals are free or united into a basal tube. The filaments are flattened and almost completely fused with the tepals so that the anthers appear to be sessile. The fruits are hairy or sticky capsules that opens by longitudinal slits or pores.
