Evidence for [[monophyly]] of Aloeae is based on distinctive [[karyotype]] and characteristic leaf morphology.  The ''[[Bulbine]]'' group has characteristics of Aloeae, but is not included in the group due to a lack of tubular flowers.  ''[[Kniphofia]]'' is considered an [[outgroup (cladistics)|outgroup]] of Aloeae since it has tubular flowers and a fusion of [[perianth]] segments, but it lacks succulent leaves.<ref name=Smith1991/>
