'''Asphodelaceae''' is a [[Family (biology)|family]] of [[flowering plants]] in the [[Order (biology)|order]] [[Asparagales]].<ref name=APG2016/> Until 2016, the name '''Xanthorrhoeaceae''' was used for the family in the APG classification system.<ref name=APG2009/> Such a family has been recognized by most [[taxonomist]]s, but the [[Circumscription (taxonomy)|circumscription]] has varied widely. In its current [[Circumscription (taxonomy)|circumscription]] in the [[APG IV system]], it includes about 40 genera and 900 known species.<ref name=Christenhusz-Byng2016/>
 
 
 
As defined by the [[Angiosperm Phylogeny Group]] in 2009 (the [[APG III system]]), the family consisted of three subfamilies: [[Asphodeloideae]], [[Hemerocallidoideae]] and [[Xanthorrhoeoideae]]. Earlier these three had been treated as separate families.<ref name=Chase2009/> The family Asphodelaceae has now been proposed to be a [[nomen conservandum]] (conserved name), and the proposal has been recommended for ratification in 2017. In that case, Asphodelaceae will have priority over Xanthorrhoeaceae. This is reflected in the APG IV family lists.<ref name=APG2016/>
 
 
 
The family has a wide, but scattered [[Range (biology)|distribution]] throughout the [[tropics]] and [[temperate zones]]. Many of the species are [[Horticulture|cultivated]] as [[Ornamental plant|ornamentals]]. A few are grown [[Commerce|commercially]] for [[Floriculture|cut flowers]]. Two species of ''[[Aloe]]'' are grown for their leaf [[Plant sap|sap]], which has [[medicine|medicinal]] and [[Cosmetics|cosmetic]] uses. ''Xanthorrhoea'' is [[endemism|endemic]] to [[Australia]].
 
 
 
In some of the older [[list of systems of plant taxonomy|systems of plant taxonomy]], such as the [[Cronquist system]], the plants that now form the family [[Dasypogonaceae]] were also considered to belong to this family. [[Molecular phylogenetic]] [[Research|studies]] have shown that Dasypogonaceae belongs to the [[commelinids]] and is therefore not even in the same order as Asphodelaceae.
 
 
 
==Description==
 
 
 
Members of the Asphodelaceae are diverse, with few characters uniting the three subfamilies currently recognized. The presence of [[anthraquinone]]s is one common character. The flowers (the [[inflorescence]]) are typically borne on a leafless stalk ([[scape (botany)|scape]]) which arises from a basal rosette of leaves. The individual flowers have jointed stalks ([[pedicel (botany)|pedicel]]s). A disk of woody tissue (a hypostase) is present at the base of the [[ovule]].<ref name=APW_Asphodelaceae/>
 
 
 
The subfamily Xanthorrhoeoideae contains only the genus ''[[Xanthorrhoea]]'', native to Australia. Plants typically develop thick woody stems; the flowers are arranged in a dense spike. Members of the subfamily [[Asphodeloideae]] are often leaf [[succulent plant|succulents]], such as [[aloe]]s and [[haworthia]]s, although the subfamily also includes ornamental perennials such as red hot pokers (''[[Kniphofia]]''). Members of the subfamily [[Hemerocallidoideae]] are varied in habit. Daylilies (''[[Hemerocallis]]'') are one of the widely grown members of this subfamily.<ref name=APW_Asphodelaceae/>
 
 
 
==Systematics==
 
 
 
===Phylogeny===
 
 
 
The order [[Asparagales]] can be divided into a basal [[paraphyly|paraphyletic]] group, the "lower Asparagales", which includes the Asphodelaceae as defined here,<ref name=Rudall1997/> and a well-supported [[monophyly|monophyletic]] group of "core Asparagales", comprising [[Amaryllidaceae]] ''sensu lato'' and [[Asparagaceae]] ''sensu lato''.<ref name=APW_Asparagales/> Three separate families were at one time recognized (e.g. in the first [[APG system]] of 1998): Asphodelaceae, Hemerocallidaceae and Xanthorrhoeaceae. Molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that the three are closely related,<ref name=APW_Asphodelaceae/><ref name=Chase2000/> although Rudall considered that the combination into a single [[clade]] was not supported by morphological analysis.<ref name=Rudall2003/> The most recent APG classification, the [[APG IV system]] of 2016, places the three former families into a single family, the Asphodelaceae ''sensu lato''. The former families are treated as three subfamilies: Asphodeloideae, Hemerocallidoideae and Xanthorrhoeoideae.<ref name=Chase2009/>
 
 
 
The following [[phylogenetic tree]] for Asphodelaceae [[sensu lato]] is based on a [[molecular phylogenetic]] analysis of the [[DNA sequence]]s of the [[chloroplast]] [[gene]]s rbcL, matK, and ndhF.<ref name=Devey2006/> All branches have at least 70% [[Bootstrapping (statistics)|bootstrap]] support. Of the 36 genera recognized by the authors, 29 were [[Sample (material)|sampled]]. ''Eccremis'' was not sampled, but is added here because it is known to be closely related to ''Pasithea'' and is often combined with it. ''Hodgsoniola'' belongs somewhere in the [[Evolutionary grade|grade]] from ''Tricoryne'' to ''Johnsonia''. The unsampled genera, ''Astroloba, Chortolirion'' and ''Gasteria'', belong to subfamily Asphodeloideae.<ref name=Kubitzki1998/>

===History===
 
The family now called Asphodelaceae has had a complex history; its [[circumscription (taxonomy)|circumscription]] and placement in an order have varied widely.
 
 
 
In the [[Cronquist system]] of 1981, members of the Asphodelaceae were placed in the order [[Liliales]].<ref name=Cronquist1981/><ref name=Beadle1981/> Cronquist had difficulty classifying the less obviously delineated [[lilioid monocot]]s; consequently, he placed taxa from both the modern orders Asparagales and Liliales into a single family [[Liliaceae]].<ref name=Rudall2003/>
 
 
 
The decision to group three formerly separate families, Asphodelaceae sensu stricto, Hemerocallidaceae and Xanthorrhoeaceae, into a single family first occurred as an option in the APG II system of 2003. The name used for the broader family was then Xanthorrhoeaceae;<ref name=APG2003/> earlier references to the Xanthorrhoeaceae relate only to the subfamily Xanthorrhoeoideae. The changes were a consequence of improvement in molecular and morphological analysis and also a reflection of the increased emphasis on placing families within an appropriate order.<ref name=APG2009/><ref name=Rudall2003/><ref name=APG1998/>
 
 
 
The APG III system of 2009 dropped the option of keeping the three families separate, using only the expanded family, still under the name Xanthorrhoeaceae.<ref name=APG2009/> Anticipating a decision to conserve the name Asphodelaceae over Xanthorrhoeaceae, the [[APG IV system]] uses Asphodelaceae as the name for the expanded family.<ref name=APG2016/>
 
 
 
===Genera===
 
The genera listed below are from the [[World Checklist of Selected Plant Families]],<ref name=WCSP_Xanthorrhoeaceae/> with the division into subfamilies based on [[APWeb]] {{as of|2010|December|lc=yes}}.
