One school of thought places the genus in the family Themidaceae, while another school of thought places it in the subfamily Brodiaeoideae of the family Asparagaceae.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] The USDA Plants Database still classifies the genus Brodiaea in the family Liliaceae.[9]
Brodiaea species occur along the Pacific Coast region of North America, from British Columbia throughout California into the Baja California Peninsula.[10] They are especially common in northern California.[1]
