ResumoSummary On the basis of many similarities in taxonomical characters the genera Eranthis and Helleborus are combined in the subtribe Helleborinae, Ranunculaceae. Former investigations in comparative serology indicated, that this close relationship can be dubious. This work confirms earlier findings: in serological characters Eranthis is more similar to Actaea/Cimicifuga than to Helleborus. Although Helleborus itself seems to have much in common with Eranthis, it shows unexpected strong similarities with achene‐fruited or annual members of the Ranunculaceae (Myosurus, Adonis, Consolida) too. These results cannot be caused by undifferentiated embryos in mature seeds of Eranthis. Even fully developed embryos show the same antigenic pattern until the beginning of germination. An overall revision of the subtribe Helleborinae is suggested.
