An order of monocots including the lily family (Liliaceae). Once a wide variety of forms were placed here, but since then the group has been divided up, with the various families being moved to other orders and creating two new ones, the
Dioscoreales and
Asparagales. Various parts of the Liliaceae themselves were also moved away or at least divided out. One listing of the families left is:
- Family Liliaceae? (lily? family)
- Family Alstroemariaceae?
- Family Colchicaceae?
- Family Smilacaceae?
- Family Uvulariaceae?
- Family Trillaceae?
but unfortunately it varies considerably. If you add an example, be careful to check that the source it comes from is post-division, or it might not belong here. If you aren't sure, put it in italics just in case, and hopefully a botanist will come by and fix things (we could use that anyways ;).
