The Liliaceae, or the Lily Family, is a family of monocotyledons in the order Liliales. Plants are living Organisms belonging to the kingdom Plantae. The flowering plants or angiosperms ( Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta) are the most widespread group Monocotyledons or monocots are one of two major groups of Flowering plants (angiosperms that are traditionally recognised the other being Dicotyledons Liliales is an order of Monocotyledonous Flowering plants This order of necessity includes the family Liliaceae, but both the family and the order have Calochortus is a genus of bulbous plants that includes 70 species from British Columbia to Guatemala and east to Nebraska. Cardiocrinum is a genus of three or four species of bulbous plants of the family Liliaceae. The genus Clintonia contains the bead lilies, which flower and then fruit into berries. Erythronium is a Genus of Bulbous spring-flowering perennials This article is about the plants Fritillary butterflies are several genera in the Heliconiini ( Subfamily Heliconiinae) Gagea is a large Genus of spring Flowers in the Liliaceae found in Europe and western Asia. Lloydia is a genus of flowering plants comprising about a dozen species most of which live in Central and Eastern Asia. Maianthemum (including former Smilacina) is a genus of about 30 species of Flowering plants in the family Ruscaceae, native to Nomocharis is a Genus of the family Liliaceae. It consists of about 7 species native to montane regions of western China, Myanmar, and northern Tricyrtis is a genus of the botanical family Liliaceae, known in English as Toad lilies Tulipa, commonly called tulip, is a Genus of about 150 species of bulbous Flowering plants in the family Liliaceae. Lomandra is a Genus of Perennial herbs found in Australia. It is variously assigned to the family Dasypogonaceae Monocotyledons or monocots are one of two major groups of Flowering plants (angiosperms that are traditionally recognised the other being Dicotyledons Liliales is an order of Monocotyledonous Flowering plants This order of necessity includes the family Liliaceae, but both the family and the order have Plants in this family have linear leaves, mostly with parallel veins, and flower parts in threes.

Many plants in the Liliaceae are important ornamental plants, widely grown for their attractive flowers. Ornamental plants are typically grown in the flower Garden or as House plants Most commonly they are grown for the display of their Flowers Other common Many plants in the family are poisonous if eaten. In the context of Biology, poisons are substances that can cause damage, Illness, or Death to Organisms usually by A floral pattern said to be based on a lily or lily-like flower is used in heraldry; see Fleur-de-lis. Heraldry in its most general sense encompasses all matters relating to the duties and responsibilities of officers of arms.

The Lily family was formerly a paraphyletic "catch-all" group that included a great number of genera that are now included in other families, and some in other orders, such as Agavaceae, Alliaceae, Amaryllidaceae, Anthericaceae s. In Phylogenetics, a group of organisms is said to be paraphyletic if the group contains its most recent common ancestor but does not contain all Agavaceae is a family of Plants that includes many well-known Desert and dry zone types such as the Agave, Yucca, and Joshua Alliaceae is a family of herbaceous perennial Flowering plants. Amaryllidaceae 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 s. , Asparagaceae, Asphodelaceae, Convallariaceae, Hyacinthaceae, Melanthiaceae, Nartheciaceae, Smilacaceae , Tecophilaeaceae, Themidaceae, Tofieldiaceae, Trilliaceae and Uvulariaceae. Asparagaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Asphodelaceae 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 Hyacinthaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Melanthiaceae is a family of flowering perennial herbs in the Northern Hemisphere. Nartheciaceae is a Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Smilacaceae, the greenbrier family is a family of Flowering plants. Tecophilaeaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants.

Uvulariaceae is a Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants.

The genus Calochortus, which includes the Sego and Mariposa lilies, and its allied genera are separated into a separate family Calochortaceae in some schemes, while others maintain them as a subfamily of Liliaceae, the Calochortoideae. Calochortus is a genus of bulbous plants that includes 70 species from British Columbia to Guatemala and east to Nebraska. Calochortaceae is a family of Flowering plants. It is recognised by only a few systems of plant taxonomy, including the Dahlgren system, which placed it

Genera

The list below includes genera that have historically been classified in family Liliaceae. Monocot classification has undergone considerable revision in recent years, and some newer systems, including the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group's APG 2 classification system, have assigned many of these genera to different families based on genetic relationships. 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 The APG 2 families are listed in brackets.
