Liliidae

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Liliidae is a botanical name at the rank of subclass. Circumscription of the subclass will vary with the taxonomic system being used (there are many such systems); the only requirement being that it includes the family Liliaceae.

The Takhtajan system treats this as one of six subclasses within class Liliopsida (= monocotyledons). This subclass consists of:

  • subclass Liliidae
    superorder Lilianae
    order Melanthiales
    order Colchicales
    order Trilliales
    order Liliales
    order Alstroemeriales
    order Iridales
    order Tecophilaeales
    order Burmanniales
    order Hypoxidales
    order Orchidales
    order Amaryllidales
    order Asparagales
    order Xanthorrhoeales
    order Hanguanales
    superorder Dioscoreanae
    order Stemonales
    order Smilacales
    order Dioscoreales
    order Taccales

The Cronquist system treats this as one of four subclasses within class Liliopsida (= monocotyledons), and it consists of:

In the Dahlgren system and the Thorne system (1992) this is an important name: this subclass comprises the monocotyledons (in APG II these are the monocots).

  • subclass Liliidae [= monocotyledons]
    superorder Alismatanae
    superorder Triuridanae
    superorder Aranae
    superorder Lilianae
    superorder Bromelianae
    superorder Zingiberanae
    superorder Commelinanae
    superorder Arecanae
    superorder Cyclanthanae
    superorder Pandananae

(in the version of the system as depicted by Reveal)

  • subclass Liliidae [= monocotyledons ]
    superorder Lilianae
    superorder Hydatellanae
    superorder Triuridanae
    superorder Aranae
    superorder Cyclanthanae
    superorder Pandananae
    superorder Arecanae
    superorder Commelinanae

The APG and APG II systems do not use formal botanical names above the rank of order, and names such as Liliopsida and Liliidae have no place in these systems.
