| | Asparagales |
 | | However, since superior ovaries are also scattered through the "lower" Asparagales, where the evolution of different ovary morphologies are to be placed in the tree is unclear; ovary position seems a much more flexible character here (and elsewhere) than it has generally been given credit for. |
| | Xeronemataceae were provisionally placed in Asphodelaceae by Takhtajan (1997) and in Hemerocallidaceae by Clifford et al. |
| | Both Hemerocallidaceae and Xanthorrhoeaceae have ovaries that are probably secondarily superior and that have infra-locular septal nectaries (Rudall 2002, 2003); Rudall (2003) suggested a close morphological relationship between Hemerocallidaceae and Asphodelaceae (and a relationship between Xanthorrhoeaceae and Iridaceae...). |
