'''''Arthropodium''''' is a [[genus]] of [[herb]]aceous [[perennial plant]]s native to the [[Southern Hemisphere]]. It is sometimes placed in the family [[Asphodelaceae]] or [[Lomandraceae]].

The [[rhizome]]s of some species can be eaten as [[root vegetable]]s, including ''A. cirratum'', ''A. milleflorum'', ''A. minus'', and ''A. strictum''.

''A. cirratum'' is native to [[New Zealand]], where it may once have been farmed. It is used for medicine as well as food, and has symbolic importance in traditional [[Māori culture]].

Selected species:
* ''[[Arthropodium cirratum]]'' (rengarenga, renga lily, New Zealand rock lily, or maikaika)
* ''[[Arthropodium milleflorum]]'' (pale vanilla lily)
* ''[[Arthropodium minus]]'' (small vanilla lily)
* ''[[Arthropodium strictum]]'' (chocolate lily)
