The lily family, Liliaceae, consists of about 15 genera and 610 species of flowering plants within the order Liliales. [2] They are monocotyledonous, perennial, herbaceous, often bulbous geophytes. Plants in this family have evolved with a fair amount of morphological diversity despite genetic similarity.
The taxonomy of the plant family Liliaceae has had a complex history since its first description in the mid-eighteenth century. Originally, the Liliaceae were defined as having a "calix" (perianth) of six equal-coloured parts, six stamens, a single style, and a superior, three-chambered (trilocular) ovary turning into a capsule fruit at maturity.
The lily family, Liliaceae, are the largest Liliales family, with 15 genera and about 700 species, though much reduced from earlier circumscriptions, in four subfamilies. Of these genera, Gagea is the largest (204 spp.), but some are quite small, with Medeola being monotypic. They are perennial herbaceous plants, growing from bulbs or corms ...
True lilies are members of the family Liliaceae and native to temperate (not tropical, as I would have assumed) areas of the Northern Hemisphere. They are among the oldest cultivated plants for ...
The List of Liliaceae genera has been much reduced by modern molecular phylogenetic based taxonomy. The current taxonomy of Liliaceae treats the family Liliaceae as having three subfamilies , with the Liliodeae being further subdivided into two tribes , the Medeoleae and Lilieae .
Tulipa is a genus of the lily family, Liliaceae, once one of the largest families of monocots, but which molecular phylogenetics has reduced to a monophyletic grouping with only 15 genera. Within Liliaceae, Tulipa is placed within Lilioideae, one of three subfamilies, with two tribes. Tribe Lilieae includes seven other genera in addition to Tulipa.
Lilium (/ ˈ l ɪ l i ə m / LIL-ee-əm) [3] is a genus of herbaceous flowering plants growing from bulbs, all with large and often prominent flowers. Lilies are a group of flowering plants which are important in culture and literature in much of the world.
Clintonia is a genus of flowering plants in the lily family Liliaceae.Plants of the genus are distributed across the temperate regions of North America and eastern Asia, [1] [2] in the mesic understory of deciduous or coniferous forests. [3]
