Alliaceae is a family of herbaceous perennial plants. They are monocots, part of order Asparagales.

Genus Allium includes several important food plants, including Onion (Allium cepa), ChivesChives Allium schoenoprasum are a member of the onion family ( Alliaceae) grown for their leaves, which are used as an herb. Chives have a much milder flavor than onions or garlic. They are referred to only in the plural, because they grow in clumps rathe (A. schoenoprasum), GarlicGarlic Allium sativum is a bulbous perennial food plant of the family Alliaceae. The word comes to us from Old English grleac meaning "spear leek". Because of its wide cultivation, its origins are uncertain; it has been traced to both southwest Siberia an (A. sativum and A. scordoprasum), and LeekThe Leek Allium ampeloprasum var. porrum (L. Gay) is a vegetable belonging, with onion and garlic, to the Alliaceae the onion family. Also in this species are two very different vegetables: The elephant garlic Allium ampeloprasum var. ampeloprasum grown f (A. porrum).

The Alliaceae are closely related to two other families on order Asparagales, the Amaryllis family ( AmaryllidaceaeAmaryllis Clivia Galanthus Hippeastrum Hymenocallis Leucojum Lycoris Narcissus Nerine ''not a complete list. For a complete list, see List of Amaryllidaceae genera The Amaryllidaceae are a family of flowering plants, with over 800 species in about 60 gene) and family Agapanthaceae, which includes the single genus AgapanthusAgapanthus Scientific classification Kingdom: Plantae Division: Magnoliophyta Class: Liliopsida Order: Asparagales Family: Alliaceae (Agapanthaceae) Genus Agapanthus Species Agapanthus africanus Agapanthus campanulatus Agapanthus inapertus Agapanthus prae. Based on the close relationship between the three families, the Angiosperm Phylogeny GroupThe Angiosperm Phylogeny Group is an international group of systematic botanists who have come together to try to establish a consensus view of the taxonomy of flowering plants in the light of the rapid rise of molecular systematics. The angiosperms or fl recognizes the alternative of including the Amaryllidaceae and the Agapanthaceae in family Alliaceae.

Several genera that were historically classified in the Alliaceae, including Androstephium, Bessera , Bloomeria , Brodiaea, Dandya , Dichellostemma , Milla, Petronymphe , Triteleia, and Triteleiopsis , are now increasingly thought to represent a separate family, Themidaceae.
