Luzuriageae is a tribe of monocotyledonous plants belonging to the family Alstroemeriaceae. It consists of very few species of perennial plants native to South America (Luzuriaga) and Australia and New Zealand (Drymophila). They are climbing plants with more or less woody stems and can be recognised by their distichous leaves which are turned "upside down" at the base, and their polysymmetrical white flowers with plain-coloured tepals and a succulent ovary.
In modern classification systems such as the APG III classification system (2009[1]) and APWeb (2001 onwards[2]), this clade is placed as a nested tribe within the wider Alstroemeriaceae. Previously (as in APG II 2003[3]), the group was placed in its own family Luzuriagaceae.
