Lily-like
The division of living beings into systematics is a continuous subject of research. Different systematic classifications exist side by side and one after the other. The taxon treated here has become obsolete due to new research or is not part of the group systematics presented in the German-language Wikipedia.
The lily-like (Liliidae) formed in many systematics a subclass of the monocot plants (Liliopsida) with many important species mainly in the subtropics . In Central Europe, the lily-like (Liliales) and the asparagus-like (Asparagales) are primarily important. Among them were the lilies , the tulips , the daffodils and the orchids .
description
They are mostly herbaceous plants that often develop persistent organs such as tubers , rhizomes or bulbs . They usually have long, narrow, parallel- veined leaves . The flowers are almost always threefold. Often the inflorescence is not divided into calyx and crown; the two petal circles always have a different development than those of the rose-like ones (Rosidae). They are mostly pollinated by insects .
Systematics
After the 34th edition of the Strasburger from 1998, the lily-like were divided into six orders in two superordinate orders:
- Superordinate Lilianae
- Order yams (Dioscoreales)
- Family Dioscoreaceae
- Order lily-like (Liliales)
- Order Asparagales (Asparagales)
- Order orchids (Orchidales)
- Order yams (Dioscoreales)
- Parent order Pandananae
- Order Cyclanthales
- Order screw tree-like (Pandanales)
