Liliaceae (lily family)
At about 5000 species worldwide, the lily family is fairly large, even though several other large groups were split off into their own families in recent years. This more narrowly-defined family still includes our region's ajo lily (desert lily), mariposa, and the true lilies of wetter climates. Former lilies that have been placed in their own families include agaves, yuccas, onions, asparagus, and the aloes. |
