''Hesperocallis'' has traditionally been classified in [[Liliaceae]] but until recently its relationships have been unclear. Other classifications have included it in [[Hemerocallidaceae]] or [[Funkiaceae]]. In 1972, Hamilton Traub created the family Hesperocallidaceae with ''Hesperocallis'' as the sole included genus. The [[APG II system]] includes it in the family [[Asparagaceae]] in the order [[Asparagales]] in the [[monocots]] clade but allows for the optional segregation of Hesperocallidaceae as a monophyletic family when several other families are likewise segregated. Recent molecular systematic studies have confirmed a close relationship with ''[[Agave]]'' and its inclusion in family [[Agavaceae]] has been recommended (Pires et al. 2004). |

Hesperocallis is a genus of flowering plants that includes a single species, Hesperocallis undulata, known as the desert lily or ajo lily.
It is found in the desert areas of southwestern North America, in Northwestern Mexico, California, and Arizona. The plant grows in Mojave Desert and Sonoran Desert habitats.
Taxonomy[edit]
In the APG III system, adopted here, Hesperocallis is placed in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Agavoideae, since recent molecular systematic studies (Pires et al. 2004) have confirmed a close relationship with Agave.[1] Other classifications have included the species in its own family, Hemerocallidaceae, or placed it in the Hostaceae (Funkiaceae); both families are submerged into the Agavoideae in the APG III system.[2] As with many of the 'lilioid monocots', prior to the use of molecular evidence in classification, it was placed in the Liliaceae.
Uses[edit]
The bulbs of the desert lily are eaten by native peoples.[3]
