'''Alstroemeriaceae''' is a [[Family (biology)|family]] of [[flowering plants]], with 254 known [[species]] in four [[genus|genera]] (Christenhusz & Byng 2016 <ref name="Christenhusz-Byng2016">{{cite journal |author1=Christenhusz, M.

The genus ''Alstroemeria'', commonly called the Peruvian lilies, are popular florist's and garden flowers. The genus ''[[Bomarea]]'' is a [[vine]] that produces clusters of variously-colored, bell-shaped flowers.
 
 
 
==Classification==
 
The [[APG II system]], of 2003 (unchanged from the [[APG system]], of 1998), treats the family in the order [[Liliales]], in the clade [[monocots]]. The [[APG III system]], of 2009, merged the obscure family Luzuriagaceae into the Alstroemeriaceae, since the former group included only two genera, was the sister group of the Alstroemeriaceae, and possessed the same distinctive twisted [[Petiole (botany)|petiole]]s.

;Tribe Luzuriageae
 
*''[[Drymophila (plant)|Drymophila]]''
 
*''[[Luzuriaga (plant)|Luzuriaga]]''
 
 
 
==Distribution==
 
Alstroemeriaceae is distributed in tropical and temperate America, from [[Mexico]] and the [[Antilles]] to [[Tierra del Fuego]]. Luzuriageae is distributed from [[Peru]] to the [[Falkland Islands]] and Tierra del Fuego, [[New Zealand]] and [[Australia]] (NSW to Tasmania).
 
 
 
==Uses==
 
 
 
===As food===
 
''[[Bomarea edulis]]'' is distributed from Mexico to [[Argentina]]. Its tubers have been used from pre-Columbian times as a food source. A single plant can have up to 20 tubers each 5&nbsp;cm in diameter.
 
 
 
===As ornamental plants===
 
Some of the Alstroemeriaceae species used for ornamental purposes are:
 
*''Alstroemeria aurea'': endemic to Southern Chile. Flowers in the summer. Flowers are 3–4&nbsp;cm in diameter, they're yellow and orange, tinged with green.
 
*''Alstroemeria haemantha'': endemic to Chile, especially near Valparaíso. It grown near rocks and flowers at the beginning of summer. It has red flowers that can grow up to 5&nbsp;cm in diameter. Florece a principios de verano.
 
*''Alstroemeria ligtu'': endemic to Chile, it grows in stoney, sand, dry soil. It flowers at the end of spring and the beginning of summer and has a height of 60&nbsp;cm-1m. Its flowers present several colours, usually lilac and pink, red or white.
 
*''Alstroemeria psittacina'': distributed in the Brazilian swamp, Peru and the Misiones Province in Argentina. Its flowers have a length of 4–5&nbsp;cm, and grow in bunches of 5 to 6 flowers. Its petals are red and green.
 
*''Bomarea ovallei'' (syn.: ''Leontochir ovallei''): endemic to Chile, grows in stoney soil in full sunlight in the 3rd Region of Chile. It has red flowers, which can also be yellow, although rarely. They can have a diameter of up to 10&nbsp;cm. It is an endangered species due to its modest distribution and its use as food by wild animals.
 
 
 
Oher species, such as ''Luzuriaga radicans'', also endemic to Chile, have potential as ornamental plants.
