'''''Bomarea''''' is one of the two major [[genus|genera]] in the plant family [[Alstroemeriaceae]]. Most occur in the [[Andes]],<ref name=guarin>Guarin, F. A. (2005).

These plants are similar to their relatives in ''[[Alstroemeria]]'', but many take a twining form. Others stand freely upright. A distinctive [[morphology (biology)|morphological]] trait of most, if not all, Alstroemeriaceae is [[resupination|resupinate]] leaves. The blades twist from the base, taking an upside-down position on the stems.
''Bomarea'' is divided into four subgenera, ''Baccata'', ''Bomarea'', ''Sphaerine'', and ''Wichuraea''. The largest is ''Bomarea'' with about 70 species.<ref name=cg>Cáceres González, D. A. (2013).
