Angiosperm Phylogeny Group
The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG) is an informal international group of systematic botanists who collaborate to establish a consensus on the taxonomy of flowering plants (angiosperms) that reflects new knowledge about plant relationships discovered through phylogenetic studies.

Arthur Cronquist
Arthur John Cronquist (March 19, 1919 – March 22, 1992) was an American biologist, botanist and a specialist on Compositae.

Burmanniaceae
Burmanniaceae is a family of flowering plants, consisting of 99 species of herbaceous plants in eight genera.

Chlorophyll
Chlorophyll is any of several related green pigments found in cyanobacteria and in the chloroplasts of algae and plants.
Cronquist system
The Cronquist system is a taxonomic classification system of flowering plants.
See Geosiris and Cronquist system
Endemism
Endemism is the state of a species only being found in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere.
Genus
Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.
Geosiris aphylla
Geosiris aphylla is a species in the flowering plant family Iridaceae, first described in 1894. Geosiris and Geosiris aphylla are Iridaceae, Iridaceae stubs, parasitic plants and taxa named by Henri Ernest Baillon.

Greek language
Greek (Elliniká,; Hellēnikḗ) is an independent branch of the Indo-European family of languages, native to Greece, Cyprus, Italy (in Calabria and Salento), southern Albania, and other regions of the Balkans, the Black Sea coast, Asia Minor, and the Eastern Mediterranean.

Henri Ernest Baillon
Henri Ernest Baillon (30 November 1827 in Calais – 19 July 1895 in Paris) was French botanist and physician.

Indian Ocean
The Indian Ocean is the third-largest of the world's five oceanic divisions, covering or approx.
Iridaceae
Iridaceae is a family of plants in order Asparagales, taking its name from the irises.
Madagascar
Madagascar, officially the Republic of Madagascar and the Fourth Republic of Madagascar, is an island country comprising the island of Madagascar and numerous smaller peripheral islands.
Mayotte
Mayotte (Mayotte,; Maore,; Maori), officially the Department of Mayotte (Département de Mayotte), is an overseas department and region and single territorial collectivity of France.
Myco-heterotrophy
Myco-heterotrophy (from Greek μύκης, ἕτερος, and τροφή) is a symbiotic relationship between certain kinds of plants and fungi, in which the plant gets all or part of its food from parasitism upon fungi rather than from photosynthesis. Geosiris and Myco-heterotrophy are parasitic plants.

Orchidales
Orchidales is an order of flowering plants.
Queensland
Queensland (commonly abbreviated as Qld) is a state in northeastern Australia, the second-largest and third-most populous of the Australian states.
Rhizome
In botany and dendrology, a rhizome is a modified subterranean plant stem that sends out roots and shoots from its nodes. Rhizomes are also called creeping rootstalks or just rootstalks. Rhizomes develop from axillary buds and grow horizontally. The rhizome also retains the ability to allow new shoots to grow upwards.
