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 There is another botanist from this time Carl Sprengel.

A system of plant taxonomy, the Cronquist system is a scheme for the classification of flowering plants (or Angiosperms) The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group II system recommends its inclusion in Asparagaceae but allows for its optional recognition as a monophyletic family; this is a change from the APG system of 1998, which did not accept the family at all. Asparagaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. In the past, the genera included here were included in a wide interpretation of the family Liliaceae, or divided into the families Convallariaceae, Dracaenaceae, Nolinaceae. The Liliaceae, or the lily family, is a family of Monocotyledons in the order Liliales.
