Hi Mark,

According to the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group version 3 (APG III, 2009), the
family Themidaceae where Behria belonged is no longer a family. It had been
subsumed into Asparagaceae, along with other families we know like
Hyacinthaceae and Agavaceae. Instead under Hyacinthaceae they have devised 7
subfamilies (with subfix -oideae). All the previous themids (Triteleia,
Brodiaea, Muilla, Behria, etc...) are now under subfamily Brodiaeoideae. We
have decided not to follow this scheme on the wiki for various complex
reasons.

It's a complicated website but you can take a look at it here:
