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.

	Lilieae s.l. 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
		Cardiocrinum Template:Small - giant lilies	Cardiocrinum giganteum
		Fritillaria Template:Small – fritillary or mission bells	Fritillaria crassifolia
		Gagea Template:Small (including Lloydia Template:Small) – yellow star-of-Bethlehem	Gagea lutea

		Erythronium Template:Small – trout lily	Erythronium sibiricum
Calochortoideae Template:Small (synonyms: Calochortaceae Template:Small, Compsoaceae Template:Small, Tricyrtidaceae Template:Small)		Calochortus Template:Small - mariposa, globe lilies	Calochortus catalinae
		Tricyrtis Template:Small – toad lily	Tricyrtis hirta
Streptopoideae (synonym: Scoliopaceae Template:Small)		Prosartes Template:Small – drops of gold	Prosartes hookeri
		Scoliopus Template:Small – Fetid Adder's Tongue	Scoliopus bigelovii
		Streptopus Template:Small – twistedstalk	Streptopus lanceolatus
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
