Liliaceae
Liliaceae A large family of
monocotyledons, most of which are
herbs (lilies, onions, etc.) with elongated leaves springing from
rhizomes,
corms, or
bulbs, but some are shrubs or trees. The leaves may be all from the base, or alternate up the stem, or
whorled. The inflorescence is a
raceme or
umbel, the flowers mostly regular and
trimerous, with 2 usually similar whorls of
petaloid perianth segments. There are usually 6
stamens, the
ovary is
superior and normally 3-celled. The fruits are
capsules or
berries. Many (e.g.
Lilium and
Tulipa) are cultivated for their flowers, others as vegetables or for flavouring (e.g.
Allium, onions and garlic). There are 294 genera, comprising about 4500 species, with a cosmopolitan distribution.
