See list of 2 genera in this family-
1a. Seeds 3 per capsule, with a caruncle (this modified into a tuft of hairs in L. parviflora); plants pubescent with white hairs, especially at the summit of the leaf sheaths and the basal margins of the leaf blades; leaf sheaths closed (i.e., with connate margins)
