 | | The Liliaceae, or the Lily Family, is a family of monocotyledons in the order Liliales. |
 | | The Lily family was formerly a paraphyletic "catch-all" group that included a great number of genera that are now included in other families, and some in other orders, such as Agavaceae, Alliaceae, Amaryllidaceae, Anthericaceae s.s., Asparagaceae, Asphodelaceae, Convallariaceae, Hyacinthaceae, Melanthiaceae, Nartheciaceae, Smilacaceae, Tecophilaeaceae, Themidaceae, Tofieldiaceae, Trilliaceae and Uvulariaceae. |
 | | The 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. |
