The status and relationships of the "Delostylis Group" of Trillium were evaluated based on comparisons of morphological and molecular phylogenetic data (ITS and matK) for several varieties of T.

 Definition of Trilliaceae
The family Melanthaceae (Trilliaceae) consists of a number of genera petaloid, lilioid monocot flowering plants.
Many authors consider it as a tribe within the family Liliaceae, although more recent scholarship designates the Melanthaceae a separate family of order Liliales.
Three exhibit a wide distribution: Paris from Iceland to Japan, Daiswa from eastern Asia, and Trillium from North America and eastern Asia; and three are monotypic, endemic genera: Trillidium, with a tepaloid inflorescence, from the Himalaya Mountains; Kinugasa, with petaloid sepals, from Japan; and the newly described Pseudotrillium, with spotted petals, from the Pacific Northwest.

- Toward an understanding of the global phylogeny of the Trilliaceae.
Trillium, Paris, Kinugasa, and Daiswa are genera of flowering herbaceous plants found in temperate mixed forests which comprise the family Trilliaceae sensu Takhtajan.
Preliminary results from a cladistic analysis of morphology show that not only are Paris and Trillium distinct entities, but Paris, and Daiswa are also separable.
