'''Hypoxidaceae''' is a [[Family (biology)|family]] of [[flowering plants]], placed in the [[Order (biology)|order]] [[Asparagales]] of the [[monocot]]s.<ref name="APG3">{{Citation |last=Angiosperm Phylogeny Group III|year=2009 |title=An update of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification for the orders and families of flowering plants: APG III |journal=Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society|volume=161 |issue=2|pages=105–121|doi=10.1111/j.1095-8339.2009.00996.x }}</ref>
 
 
 
The [[APG III system]] of 2009 (unchanged from the [[APG system|1998]] and [[APG II system|2003]] versions) recognizes this family. The family consists of four genera totalling some 160 [[species]].<ref name="Christenhusz-Byng2016">{{cite journal |author1=Christenhusz, M. J. M. |author2=Byng, J.

The members of the family are small to medium herbs, with grass-like leaves and an invisible stem, modified into a [[corm]] or a [[rhizome]].  The flowers are born on leafless shoots, also called scapes.  The flowers are trimerous, radially symmetric.  The ovary is inferior, developing into a capsule or a [[berry (botany)|berry]].
