Asphodelaceae
3-633.65.00Clades: Agapanthaceae; Asparagales; Liliidae; Lilianae; Angiospermae; Plants.IntroductionAsphodelaceae is a relatively new family. In Stebbins classification it is included in Liliaceae.
The Apg3 system treated it as the family or subfamily in Xanthorrhoeaceae broasly defined, together with Hemerocallidaceae and the monotypic Xanthorrhoeaceae stictly defined. In the Apg4 system the 3 Families are combined in one Family, but the name was changed to Asphodelaceae, in preference to Xanthorrhoeaceae.In the first verison of the Plant theory Asphodelaceae was still named Xanthorrhoeaceae and placed in the Asparageles in Subphase 7. Aloe was then the only remedy known in homeopathy.
In the update the Plant theory Asphodelaceae is placed in the Liliales in Subphase 4.TaxonomyAsphodelaceae are not characterised by a distinct set of unique characters, but rather by a combination of characters, in common with most of the other asparagoid families. Thus, some authors believe that none are sufficient to distinguish Asphodelaceae from other Asparagales families.AsphodeloideaeTaxonomy: in the Apg3 classification it was treated as a separate family, the Asphodelaceae.
Region: South Africa!!; Africa, central and western Europe, Mediterranean, Central Asia, Australia; Bulbinella in New Zealand. The greatest diversity occurs in.
Genera: Aloe, Asphodelus, Kniphofia
Use: ornamental; medicinal.HemerocallidoideaeTaxonomy: in the Apg3 classification it was treated as a separate family, the Hemerocallidaceae.
Genera: Dianella, 20 species; Hemerocallis, 15 species; Caesia, 11species; in dispute were Johnsonia, Xeronema.
Region: tropical and temperate Eurasia and Australia; more broadly defined also New Zealand, Pacific islands, western South America, Madagascar; with Caesia included also Southern Africa, Australia.
Use: Hemerocallis fulva is an ornamental; Hemerocallis citrina has medicinal uses. Phormium tenax is a source of fibre in New Zealand.XanthorrhoeoideaeTaxonomy: in the Apg3 classification it was treated as a separate family, the Xanthorhoeaceae.
Genus: 1, Xanthorrhoea, 30 species.
Region: Australia.
