 * See Liliod monocots – many plants used to be placed in the family Liliaceae, but are not now. Ornithogalum is a member of the subfamily Scilloideae of the family Asparagaceae in one treatment (APG), or of the family Hyacinthaceae in another. Either way, it's in an entirely different order, Asparagales, from Liliaceae, which is in Liliales. Peter coxhead (talk) 08:08, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

The Jepson Herbarium has changed the family name from Asparagaceae to Themidaceae. http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/eflora/eflora_display.php?tid=22848 Hpy2bsal (talk) 18:16, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Pinging . Care to look at this one? Should this be moved, changed, redirected? – Jonesey95 (talk) 08:01, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
 * 's comment is incorrect; the Jepson Herbarium recognizes Asparagaceae – see here. The difference is that we use the APG system, currently APG IV, in which Themidaceae is reduced to the subfamily Brodiaeoideae of Asparagaceae. See the taxobox at Dichelostemma, which Jepson puts in Themidaceae at the link given above. Jepson uses a narrower circumscription of Asparagaceae, I suspect equivalent to Asparagoideae, though I haven't checked. Peter coxhead (talk) 09:21, 16 March 2019 (UTC)

The family name is lily, found this out under the USDA site under Muscari botryoides where it is listed as an invasive species in Tennessee. I found it in Washington state.

This species is in the lily family. Check the USDA site under Muscari botryoides and its listed as the lily family 2600:100F:B009:FFCF:EC44:B217:9496:4265 (talk) 00:55, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

The family of Asparagus racemosus wild is not asparagaceae, but Liliaceae according to 'A textbook of Dravyaguna Vijnana' by Dr Prakash. L. Hegde. Santhanu808 (talk) 20:42, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Asparagus racemosus wild belongs to Liliaceae family Santhanu808 (talk) 20:43, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: that is from an earlier classification system. The family "Asparagaceae" is correct; please see Asparagaceae. Thank you very much for your input!  P.I. Ellsworth   ed.  put'r there 16:47, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

I see the family name is/may be wrong. I have it on good authority (am looking at a tree book now) that the family name is actually Agavaceae 115.188.58.25 (talk) 10:50, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
