Alliaceae is a family of herbaceous perennial flowering plants. Ramsons, buckrams, wild garlic, broad-leaved garlic, wood garlic or bear's garlic ( Allium ursinum) is a wild relative Plants are living Organisms belonging to the kingdom Plantae. The flowering plants or angiosperms ( Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta) are the most widespread group Liliopsida is a Botanical name for the class containing the family Liliaceae (or Lily Family Asparagales is an order of Flowering plants The order must include the family Asparagaceae, but other families included in the order have varied markedly Dr August Johann Georg Karl Batsch ( 28 October 1761 - 29 September 1802) was a German Naturalist. Moritz Balthasar Borkhausen ( December 3, 1760 - November 30, 1806) was a German naturalist. In Biological classification, family ( Latin A perennial plant or perennial ( Latin per, "through" annus, "year" is a Plant that lives for more than The flowering plants or angiosperms ( Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta) are the most widespread group They are monocots, part of order Asparagales. Monocotyledons or monocots are one of two major groups of Flowering plants (angiosperms that are traditionally recognised the other being Dicotyledons This article is about the taxonomic rank for the sequence of species in a taxonomic list see Taxonomic order In scientific classification used Asparagales is an order of Flowering plants The order must include the family Asparagaceae, but other families included in the order have varied markedly The family has been widely but not universally recognised; in the past, the plants involved were often treated as belonging to the family Liliaceae, and still are by some botanists. The Liliaceae, or the lily family, is a family of Monocotyledons in the order Liliales.
The APG II system of 2003 recognises the family and places it in the order Asparagales in the clade monocots. Asparagales is an order of Flowering plants The order must include the family Asparagaceae, but other families included in the order have varied markedly Monocotyledons or monocots are one of two major groups of Flowering plants (angiosperms that are traditionally recognised the other being Dicotyledons APG II allows two options of the circumscription of the family:
- Alliaceae sensu lato ("in the wider sense"), including all the plants that were assigned to the families Agapanthaceae, Alliaceae and Amaryllidaceae in the 1998 APG. Agapanthaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Amaryllidaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, or APG, refers to two international groups of systematic botanists who came together to try to establish a consensus view of the
- Alliaceae sensu stricto ("in the strict sense"), unchanged from the 1998 APG system, excluding the plants then forming the families Agapanthaceae and Amaryllidaceae.
Note that quite a few of the plants that were once included in family Alliaceae are assigned to the family Themidaceae by both APG and APG II. Themidaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants.
The most important genus is Allium, which includes several important food plants, including onions (Allium cepa), chives (A. Allium is the Onion Genus, with about 1250 Species, making it one of the largest plant genera in the world Organicsalsajpg||thumb|right|Onions used in salsa.]]Cooked onions in frying pan Chives ( Allium schoenoprasum) are the smallest Species of the Onion family Alliaceae, native to Europe, Asia and schoenoprasum), garlic (A. Allium sativum L, commonly known as garlic, is a species in the Onion family Alliaceae. sativum and A. scordoprasum), and leeks (A. The leek, Allium ampeloprasum var porrum (L also sometimes known as Allium porrum, is a vegetable which belongs along with the Onion and porrum).
