Family Liliacea
General
The Liliaceae family are characterised as monocotyledonous, perennial, herbaceous, bulbous (or
rhizomatous in the case of Medeoleae)[4] flowering plants with simple trichomes (root hairs) and
contractile roots.[5] The flowers may be arranged (inflorescence) along the stem, developing from
the base, or as a single flower at the tip of the stem, or as a cluster of flowers. They contain both
male (androecium) and female (gynoecium) characteristics and are symmetric radially, but
sometimes as a mirror image.
Specificity
Inflorescence: usually indeterminate as a raceme, or sometimes reduced to a single terminal
flower . When pluriflor the flowers are arranged in a cluster or rarely are subumbellate or a
thyrse
Flowers: hermaphroditic, actinomorphic or slightly zygomorphic (bilaterally symmetric),
pedicellate generally large and showy but may be inconspicuous Bracts may (bracteate) or may
not (ebracteate) be present. The perianth is undifferentiated (perigonium) and biseriate (two
whorled
Androecium: six stamens in two trimerous whorls, with free filaments, usually epiphyllous
(fused to tepals) and diplostemonous , although Scoliopus has three stamens opposite the outer
tepals
Gynoecium: superior ovary stigma ovules usually with an integument and thinner
megasporangium. (megagametophyte) tetrasporic (e.g. r megaspores fuse to form a triploid
nucleus, Liliales.
Fruit: a capsule that is usually loculicidal but occasionally septicidal The seeds may be flat,
oblong, angular, discoid, ellipsoid or globose (spherical), or compressed with a well developed
epidermis.
Leaves: simple, entire (smooth and even), linear, oval to filiform mostly with parallel veins, but
occasionally net-veined. They are alternate and spiral, but may be whorled (three or more
attached at one node, The aerial stem is unbranched.
