Xanthorrhoeaceae is the botanical name of a family of flowering plants. Sensu is a Latin term meaning "in the sense of"It is used in fields including biology geology and law in the phrases sensu stricto A botanical name is a formal scientific name conforming to the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN and if the plant is a Cultigen, the The flowering plants or angiosperms ( Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta) are the most widespread group Such a family has been recognized by most taxonomists, but the circumscription of the family has varied wildly.
The APG II system also recognizes this family and places the family in the order Asparagales, in the clade monocots and allows two options:
- sensu lato: the family consists not only of the genus Xanthorrhoea but also of the plants that otherwise would be in families Asphodelaceae and Hemerocallidaceae. 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 Asphodelaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Hemerocallidaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. According to the AP-website, this family consists of some three dozen genera.
- sensu stricto: the family consists only of the genus Xanthorrhoea. In this option, the families Asphodelaceae and Hemerocallidaceae are recognized as separate, satellite families. Asphodelaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants. Hemerocallidaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants.
In previous systems of plant taxonomy the plants that now form the family Dasypogonaceae were also reckoned to belong to this family. This list of systems of plant taxonomy presents “taxonomic systems” used in plant classification Dasypogonaceae is a Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants.
