Triuridaceae is a family of flowering plants, consisting of six genera with about 80 species. The APG II system places it in the order Pandanales, of the monocots. Scientific classification or biological classification is how biologists group and categorize extinct and living species of organisms. ...

Genera

• Andruris Schltr.
• Peltophyllum Gardner (syn. Hexuris Miers)
• Sciaphila Blume (syn. Hyalisma Champion)
• Seychellaria Hemsl.
• Soridium Miers
• Triuris Miers (syn. Lacandonia E.Martínez & Ramos)

But according to Maas-van de Kamer, H. & T.Weustenfeld (1998) 9 genera were recognized, beyond six already cited:

• Hyalisma Champ.
• Lacandonia E.Martínez & Ramos
• Triuridopsis H. Maas & Maas

Of these, the biggest genus is Sciaphila, another but smaller genus is Triuris. The other genera have few species.
