The Lily family formerly included a great number of genera that are now included in other families, and some in other orders. The family Smilacaceae was formerly included in the Liliaceae but now is segregated on several bases. Family Melanthiaceae ( Trilliaceae) is also now segregated by most taxonomists. Many other genera formerly classified in family Liliaceae are now widely thought to belong to families in order Asparagalesaccording to the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group Agapanthus Agavaceae Alliaceae Amaryllidaceae Aphyllanthaceae Asparagaceae Asphodelaceae Asteliaceae Blandfordiaceae Boryaceae Doryanthaceae Hemerocallidaceae Hyacinthaceae Hypoxidaceae Iridaceae Ixioliriaceae L.
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.
The lily flower is used in heraldryHeraldry is the knowledge and art of describing-coats-of-arms, also referred to as achievements or armorial bearings. Its origins are in the need to distinguish participants in battles or jousts and to describe the various devices they carried or painted. See: Fleur-de-lisQuebec The fleur-de-lis (also spelled fleur-de-lys plural fleurs-de-lis or lys is used in heraldry, where it is particularly associated with France. The name, anglicized, means " lily flower", and the symbol is in fact a stylized Iris pseudacorus L. It wa.
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 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's APG 2 classification system, have assigned many of these genera to different families based on genetic relationships. The APG 2 families are listed in brackets.
