Notes
- ↑ In 1964, Takhtajan proposed that classes including Monocotyledons, be formally named with the suffix -atae, so that the principle of typification resulted in Liliatae for monocotyledons.[6] The proposal was formally described in 1966 by Cronquist, Takhtajan and Zimmermann,[1] from which is derived the descriptor "liliates".
- ↑ Tropicos gives an earlier authority, J.H. Schaffn. 1911
- ↑ Cronquist[1] attributes this term to De Candolle as DC. 1818 Syst. 1: 122[11]
