Liliaceae
Liliaceae, the lily family, is a family of flowering plants in the order Liliales, within the monocots. The modern circumscription (APG system) places a relatively small core of genera in Liliaceae, with many former members now treated in related families. Notable genera in the core include Lilium (lilies), Tulipa (tulips), Fritillaria, Erythronium (dogtooth violets), and Cardiocrinum. The family is distributed mainly in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere and is widely cultivated for ornament.
