List of Liliaceae genera

Template:Short description The List of Liliaceae genera has been much reduced by modern molecular phylogenetic based taxonomy. The current taxonomy of Liliaceae treats the family Liliaceae as having three subfamilies, with the Liliodeae being further subdivided into two tribes, the Medeoleae and Lilieae. The family Liliaceae consists of fifteen genera and approximately 600 species in all.

Template:Small (synonyms: Erythroniaceae Template:Small, Fritillariaceae Template:Small, Liriaceae Template:Small, Tulipaceae Template:Small) (Some classifications place Tulipa and Erythronium into a separate tribe: Tulipeae with the remaining genera in Lilieae s.s.)Template:Sfn|	Amana Template:Small	Amana edulis

Calochortoideae Template:Small (synonyms: Calochortaceae Template:Small, Compsoaceae Template:Small, Tricyrtidaceae Template:Small)		Calochortus Template:Small - mariposa, globe lilies	Flower of Calochortus, an example of Calochortoideae Calochortus catalinae

The situation with respect to Calochortoideae remains uncertain. Originally Calochortus and Tricyrtis were considered to be sister clades and placed together in subfamily Calochortoideae. Further study has not confirmed this and it has been proposed that Tricyrtis be placed in a separate subfamily.Template:Sfn
