Asparagales is an order of flowering plants. Asparagus officinalis is a flowering plant species in the genus Asparagus from which the Vegetable known as asparagus is obtained 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 Sir Edward Thomas ffrench Bromhead 2nd Baronet ( 26 March 1789 &ndash 14 March 1855) was a British landowner and Mathematician This article is about the taxonomic rank for the sequence of species in a taxonomic list see Taxonomic order In scientific classification used The flowering plants or angiosperms ( Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta) are the most widespread group The order must include the family Asparagaceae, but other families included in the order have varied markedly between different classifications. Asparagaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants.

APG II system

The APG II system of 2003, places the order in the clade monocots and uses the following circumscription:

Note: "+ . Monocotyledons or monocots are one of two major groups of Flowering plants (angiosperms that are traditionally recognised the other being Dicotyledons Alliaceae is a family of herbaceous perennial Flowering plants. Agapanthaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Amaryllidaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Asparagaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Agavaceae is a family of Plants that includes many well-known Desert and dry zone types such as the Agave, Yucca, and Joshua Hesperocallis is a Genus of Flowering plants that includes a single species Hesperocallis undulata, the desert lily Hyacinthaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Laxmanniaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Ruscaceae is a family of Flowering plants in the order Asparagales that includes several genera previously included in the Liliaceae, for example in Themidaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Asteliaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Blandfordiaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Boryaceae is a family of Arborescent, or tree forming highly drought tolerant Flowering plants native to Australia. Doryanthaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Hypoxidaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Iridaceae is a family of plants in Order Asparagales, taking its name from the Irises. Ixiolirion is a genus of plants from Southwest Asia. Under the APG II system it is placed in the monogeneric family Ixioliridaceae in the order Lanariaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Tecophilaeaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Xanthorrhoeaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Asphodelaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Hemerocallidaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Xeronemataceae is family of Flowering plants in the Asparagales order . . " = optional segregrate family, that may be split off from the preceding family.

APG II has consolidated some of the families in the earlier APG system, while recognizing an alternative, that allows smaller families to be seggregated and still follow the 'APG system'. Under the new classification system a taxonomist could, for example, correctly choose to include the daylilies (Hemerocallis) in family Hemerocallidaceae, or in family Xanthorrhoeaceae. Daylilies comprise the small Genus Hemerocallis of flowering plants in the family Hemerocallidaceae. Hemerocallidaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Xanthorrhoeaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants.

APG system (1998)

The APG system of 1998 also placed the order in the clade monocots but used this circumscription:

Kubitzki system

The volume (1998) in the Kubitzki series of reference books on vascular plants used this circumscription:

Dahlgren system

The Dahlgren system placed the order in superorder Lilianae in subclass Liliidae [= monocotyledons] of class Magnoliopsida [= angiosperms] and used this circumscription:

Other systems

The Cronquist system did not recognise the order, and placed many of the plants involved in order Liliales (in subclass Liliidae in class Liliopsida [= monocotyledons]). Monocotyledons or monocots are one of two major groups of Flowering plants (angiosperms that are traditionally recognised the other being Dicotyledons Agavaceae is a family of Plants that includes many well-known Desert and dry zone types such as the Agave, Yucca, and Joshua Agavaceae is a family of Plants that includes many well-known Desert and dry zone types such as the Agave, Yucca, and Joshua Asparagaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Asphodelaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Agavaceae is a family of Plants that includes many well-known Desert and dry zone types such as the Agave, Yucca, and Joshua Ruscaceae is a family of Flowering plants in the order Asparagales that includes several genera previously included in the Liliaceae, for example in Agavaceae is a family of Plants that includes many well-known Desert and dry zone types such as the Agave, Yucca, and Joshua Iridaceae is a family of plants in Order Asparagales, taking its name from the Irises. Tecophilaeaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Themidaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Xanthorrhoeaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. A system of plant taxonomy, the Kubitzki system was published in The system is important as being a comprehensive multivolume treatment of the Ruscaceae is a family of Flowering plants in the order Asparagales that includes several genera previously included in the Liliaceae, for example in Ruscaceae is a family of Flowering plants in the order Asparagales that includes several genera previously included in the Liliaceae, for example in Agavaceae is a family of Plants that includes many well-known Desert and dry zone types such as the Agave, Yucca, and Joshua Hemerocallidaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Lomandraceae Lotsy is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Ruscaceae is a family of Flowering plants in the order Asparagales that includes several genera previously included in the Liliaceae, for example in One of the modern systems of plant taxonomy, the Dahlgren system was published by monocot specialist Rolf Dahlgren. Lilianae is a Botanical name, in use for a superorder (that is a rank higher than that of order) Liliidae is a Botanical name at the rank of subclass. Circumscription of the subclass will vary with the taxonomic system being used Magnoliopsida is the Botanical name for a class of Flowering plants By definition the class will include the family Magnoliaceae, but its Dasypogonaceae is a Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Tecophilaeaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Dasypogonaceae is a Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Luzuriagaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Philesiaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Hemerocallidaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. A system of plant taxonomy, the Cronquist system is a scheme for the classification of flowering plants (or Angiosperms) Liliales is an order of Monocotyledonous Flowering plants This order of necessity includes the family Liliaceae, but both the family and the order have Liliidae is a Botanical name at the rank of subclass. Circumscription of the subclass will vary with the taxonomic system being used Liliopsida is a Botanical name for the class containing the family Liliaceae (or Lily Family Some genera were even included in family Liliaceae. The Liliaceae, or the lily family, is a family of Monocotyledons in the order Liliales.

The Wettstein system, last revision of 1935, did not recognise such an order, and placed many of the plants involved in order Liliiflorae in class Monocotyledones. A system of plant taxonomy, the Wettstein system recognised the following main groups according to I Liliiflorae is a Botanical name, which may be used for a taxon at a rank above that of family, but not for a rank where Art 16 or 17 of the Monocotyledons or monocots are one of two major groups of Flowering plants (angiosperms that are traditionally recognised the other being Dicotyledons
