==Plants that form bulbs==
Plants that form underground [[storage organ]]s, including bulbs as well as [[tuber]]s and [[corm]]s, are called ''geophytes''. Some [[Epiphyte|epiphytic]] [[orchid]]s (family [[Orchidaceae]]) form above-ground storage organs called ''[[pseudobulb]]s'', that superficially resemble bulbs.{{cn|date=April 2023}}

Nearly all plants that form true bulbs are [[monocotyledon]]s, and include:<ref name=":0" />
* ''[[Amaryllis]]'', ''[[Crinum]]'', ''[[Hippeastrum]]'', ''[[Narcissus (plant)|Narcissus]]'', and several other members of the amaryllis family [[Amaryllidaceae]]. This includes [[onion]], [[garlic]], and other [[allium]]s, members of the Amaryllid subfamily [[Allioideae]].
* [[Lily]], [[tulip]], and many other members of the lily family [[Liliaceae]].
* Two groups of ''[[Iris (plant)|Iris]]'' species, family [[Iridaceae]]: subgenus ''[[Iris subg. Xiphium|Xiphium]]'' (the "Dutch" irises) and subgenus ''[[Hermodactyloides]]'' (the miniature "rock garden" irises).
The only [[Eudicots|eudicot]] plants that produce true bulbs are just a few species in the genus ''[[Oxalis]]'', such as ''[[Oxalis latifolia]]''.<ref name="Hartmann">{{cite book |first=Hudson Thomas |last=Hartmann |author2=Dale E.
