Families
Asparagaceae
Asparagaceae is the of a family of flowering plants. Such a family has been recognized by quite a few taxonomists, but hardly universally: often the plants involved are treated as belonging to the family Liliaceae. [more]
Convallariaceae
Ruscaceae is a family of in the order Asparagales that includes several genera previously included in the Liliaceae, for example in the Cronquist system. The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group II system recommends its inclusion in Asparagaceae but allows for its optional recognition as a monophyletic family; this is a change from the APG system of 1998, which did not accept the family at all. In the past, the genera included here were included in a wide interpretation of the family Liliaceae, or divided into the families Convallariaceae, Dracaenaceae, Nolinaceae. [more]
Ophiopogonaceae
Ruscaceae
At least 76 species and subspecies belong to the Family Ruscaceae.
