I couldn't find any source actually confirming that this genus exists. In all likelihood, it is a misspelling of Hypoxidia, itself a junior synonym of Curculigo. The latter does have a species Curculigo rhizophylla (at one point classified as Hypoxidia rhizophylla), which is likely what the simultaneously created "Hypoxida rhizophylla" was intended to refer to.

• Delete. There is too little information in the article too be sure (I don't have access to the cited book), but I suspect that User:Chaotic Enby is correct. In any case, even if the genus does exists there needs to be more to make a viable article. Athel cb (talk) 10:05, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Yes. Looks like a misquote to me. The book cited has hypoxidia.[1] Thincat (talk) 11:56, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as a non-published misspelling; I suspect nom has it right. Also, move Hypoxida rhizophylla (without redirect, since not a published misspelling either) to Curculigo rhizophylla - might as well get an article started on that one, and add some more accessible sources (e.g. PoW). --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 12:02, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
