The genus Muilla includes three to four species of flowering plants.

Taxonomy

The genus name is an anagram of Allium (in fact, the letters are in exact reverse order), the onion genus, for the flowers' resemblance.[1]

In the APG III classification system, it is placed in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Brodiaeoideae.[2][3] The subfamily has also been treated as a separate family Themidaceae.[4][5][6][7]

Distribution

Muilla species are native to southwestern North America.[5][8]
