rhoea, Kingia, &c., and in these cases almost the only distinction is 
the absence in L. of the long thread-like twisted stigmas of J. Benth.- 
Hooker unite these genera, and some others, to Juncaceae, and place 
sub-orders VIII and IX in Haemodoraceae. Warming splits up the 
family into Colchicaceae, Liliaceae, and Convallariaceae. 
I. MELANTHIOIDEAE (rhizome, or bulb covered with scale- 
leaves and with terminal infl. ; anthers extrorse or introrse ; capsule 
loculicidal or septicidal; fruit never a berry): Tofieldia, Narthecium, 
Veratrum, Gloriosa, Colchicum. 
II. HERRERIOIDEAE (tuber, with climbing stem; leaves in 
tufts ; small-flowered racemes at base of these or in panicles at ends 
of twigs; septicidal capsule): Herreria (only genus). 
III. ASPHODELOIDEAE (rhizome with radical leaves, rarely 
stem with crown of leaves or leafy branched stem or bulb ; infl. usually 
terminal, a simple or compound raceme or spike ; P or (P) ; anthers 
introrse ; capsule, rarely berry) : Asphodelus, Chlorogalum, Bowiea, 
Funkia, Hemerocallis, Phormium, Kniphofia, Aloe, Gasteria, Ha- 
worthia, Aphyllanthes, Lomandra, Xanthorrhoea, Kingia. 
IV. ALLIOIDEAE (bulb or short rhizome; cymose umbel 
± enclosed by two broad or rarely narrow leaves, sometimes joined ; 
infl. rarely of i fir.): Agapanthus, Gagea, Allium, Brodiaea. 
V. LILIOIDEAE (bulb ; infl. terminal, racemose ; P or (P) ; 
anthers introrse ; capsule loculicidal, except in Calochortus) : Lilium, 
Fritillaria, Tulipa, Scilla, Ornithogalum, Hyacinthus, Muscari. 
VI. DRA CAENOIDEAE (stem erect with leafy crown, except 
in Astelia; leaves sometimes leathery, never fleshy; P free or united 
at base; anthers introrse; berry or capsule): Yucca, Dasylirion, 
Dracaena. 
VII. ASPARAGOIDEAE (rhizome subterranean, sympodial; 
berry) : Asparagus, Ruscus, Polygonatum, Convallaria, Trillium. 
VIII. OPHIOPOGONOIDEAE (short rhizome, sometimes 
with suckers, with narrow or lanceolate radical leaves; P or (P); 
anthers introrse or semi-introrse ; ovary sup. or J-inf. ; fruit with thin 
pericarp and i — 3 seeds with fleshy coats) : Sansevieria, Ophiopogon. 
IX. ALETROIDEAE (short rhizome with narrow r or lanceo- 
late radical leaves; (P) ; anthers semi-introrse; capsule loculicidal; 
seeds 00 , with thin testa) : Aletris (only genus). 
X. LUZUR 1 AGOIDEAE (shrubs or undershrubs with erect 
or climbing twigs ; infl. -twigs usually many-flowered, cymose, rarely 
1 -flowered, with scaly bract at base ; both whorls of P. alike or not ; 
berry with spherical seeds) : Luzuriaga, Lapageria. 
XI. SMI LA COIDEAE (climbing shrubs with net-veined leaves ; 
firs, small in axillary umbels or racemes or terminal panicles; loc. 
with 1 or 2 orthotropous or semi-anatropous ovules) : Smilax. 
[Coronarieae (Benth.-Hooker), Liliiflorae (Warming).]
