  Burmanniaceae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Burmanniaceae are a family of monocot flowering plants, part of order Dioscoreales.
The former family (Thismiaceae) is now considered a sister to and included in the family Burmanniaceae.

Burmanniaceae is a relatively small family of the order Dioscoreales.
Burmanniaceae were traditionally placed within the orders Orchidales or Liliales.
In recent molecular analyses, however, Burmanniaceae turned out to be the sister group of the Dioscoreaceae.

 Dioscoreales
Burmanniaceae + Dioscoreaceae: stem with endodermis; leaves spiral; T tube broad, stamens reflexed, ovary inferior, stigma lobes ± bilobed; fruit winged; exo- and endotesta tanniniferous.
Burmanniaceae are usually rather small, echlorophyllous herbs that may be recognised by their radially symmetrical flowers with an inferior ovary.
The root stele is di- to pentarch and may lack a pith, and although roots of Burmanniaceae are often described as lacking root hairs, as befits their close association with fungi, these are shown as occuring in Burmannia (von Guttenberg 1968).

Subterranean structures and mycotrophy of the achlorophyllous Dictyostega orobanchoides (Burmanniaceae)
In April 1837 John Miers collected close to Rio de Janeiro a curious, achlorophyllous, almost leafless plant, with a slender, rarely branched stem, bearing a terminal bifurcate, cincinnous (scorpioid cyme) inflorescence (Miers 1841).
The root and rhizome structures of Burmanniaceae have been classified by Johow (1889), Goebel and Süssenguth (1924) and Maas et al.

 PBIO 450 Lecture Notes - Liliidae -- Spring 1998
The Burmanniaceae and Corsiaceae are removed to the Burmanniales, and this order is positioned near the Iridales.
The Burmanniaceae proper are those plants with cymose inflorescences and flowers with three stamens and trilocular ovaries.
The segregate family is composed of six genera and approximately 30 species that are widely scattered in the tropics but with a few representatives in temperate environs.

 Doctoral research project Burmanniaceae (Dioscoreales): molecular systematics, pollenm ...
Dur to the myco-heterotrophic habit of most Burmanniaceae species our knowledge about this fascinating family is limited.
The aim of this project is to investigate phylogenetic relationships within Burmanniaceae.
For the morphological work we focus on the pollen morphological characters of the family: pollen of circa 50 species will be observed using light and scanning electron microscopy.

Although Burmanniaceae have traditionally been placed in the Orchidales, it has been suggested that the family may be more closely related to the Melanthiales (= Liliales in the broad sense, as traditionally circumscribed) (R. Dahlgren et al.
Burmanniaceae traditionally have been characterized as saprophytic, but the life form is more accurately described as mycotrophic or myco-heterotrophic (J. Leake 1994).

I am broadly interested in tropical ecology and conservation and have been working on and off in the neotropics since 1989.
Most recently, I have described a new genus of Burmanniaceae that I collected in Amazonian Ecuador together with Dr. Kelly Swing (founding director of the Tiputini Biodiversity Station) after he discovered it growing along a trail at the Tiputini Biodiversity Station on April 14, 2005.
Tiputinia foetida, a new mycoheterotrophic genus of Burmanniaceae (subfamily Thismioideae) from Amazonian Ecuador, and a likely case of deceit pollination.
