A family of tropical and subtropical flowering plants, some of which have blood-red roots or sap.
From Greek 'haima' (blood) + 'doros' (gift) + Latin '-aceae' (plant family suffix). The name refers to the blood-like appearance of these plants' parts.
Plants in the Haemodoraceae family were named because their roots and sap are literally red or blood-colored—Australian Aboriginal people historically used them for dyes.
