| − | Until recently, this family was not recognized by many [[Taxonomy (biology)|taxonomists]], with most systems putting the two genera, ''[[Borya]]'' and ''[[Alania (plant)|Alania]]'', in the [[Anthericaceae]] or the [[Liliaceae]]. The 2009 [[APG III system]] (unchanged from the 1998 and 2003 versions) does recognize this family and places it in the order [[Asparagales]], in the clade [[monocots]], based on [[Molecular phylogeny|molecular phylogenetic]] evidence that shows the two genera to form a [[clade]].<ref>{{cite book |editor-last=Rudall |editor-first=P |editor2=P Cribb |editor3=D Cutler |editor4=C Humphries |title =Monocotyledons: systematics and evolution|publisher =Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew|year = 1995|pages = 109–137}}</ref>
