The lily-like (Liliales) are an order of the monocotyledons .

description

They are herbaceous plants . All taxa are geophytes . The organs of persistence are always bulbs in the lily family (Liliaceae) , tubers in the timeless family (Colchicaceae) and rhizomes in the Germer family (Melanthiaceae) . The leaves are parallel-veined and not divided into petiole and leaf blade.

Usually racemose inflorescences are formed. The mostly radial symmetrical flowers of the lily-like are threefold. The bracts are usually the same, so there are (2 × 3) six tepals . At the bottom of tepals or stamens is nectar secreted . Most three carpels fused into one ovary , which may be above or below the time and usually contains many ovules. They mostly form capsule fruits .

Systematics

Ten plant families with 67 genera and almost 1,600 species belong to the lily-like (Liliales) :

• Alstroemeriaceae (Alstroemeriaceae) including Luzuriagaceae : with five to six genera and about 170 species, mostly in the Neotropics are common. Few species occur in New Zealand and Australia from New South Wales to Tasmania. Such an area often indicates a very old taxon with a Gondwana distribution.
• Campynemataceae : With only two genera and four species. Home: New Caledonia and Tasmania .
• Timeless plants (Colchicaceae): There are 18 genera with 225 species. The home extends worldwide from the temperate zones to the tropics , but it is absent in South America .
• Corsiaceae : There are three genera with 25 species. Disjoint area : southern China , South America, New Guinea , northeastern Australia.
• Lily family (Liliaceae): The 16 genera with around 635 species occur in the northern temperate latitudes ( Holarctic distribution).
• Germergewächse (Melanthiaceae): The 16 genera with 170 species occur in the temperate latitudes.
• Petermanniaceae: With only one rare monotypic genus:
  • Petermannia F. Muell. : With the only kind:
    • Petermannia cirrosa F. Muell. : Native to the central part of the east coast of Australia.
• Philesiaceae : It contains two monotypical genera in southern Chile :
  • Philesia Comm. ex Juss. : There is only one type:
    • Philesia magellanica J.F. Gmel. : It occurs in Chile and southern Argentina.
  • Lapageria Ruiz & Pav .: There is only one type:
    • Lapageria rosea Ruiz & Pav. , The national flower of Chile.
• Rhipogonaceae: There is only one genus:
  • Rhipogonum J.R. Forst. & G.Forst. : The six species are distributed from New Zealand through eastern Australia to New Guinea.
• Stingray family (Smilacaceae): It contains two genera with around 315 species with worldwide distribution from the tropics to the temperate latitudes.
