Nolinoideae
Nolinoideae is a monocot subfamily of the family Asparagaceae in the APG III system of 2009. It used to be treated as a separate family, Ruscaceae s.l. The family name is derived from the generic name of the type genus, '' Nolina''. The subfamily includes genera that had been placed in a range of different families, including Ruscaceae s.s., Nolinaceae, Dracaenaceae, Convallariaceae and Eriospermaceae. Like many groups of lilioid monocots, the genera included here were once included in a wide interpretation of the family Liliaceae The lily family, Liliaceae, consists of about 15 genera and 610 species of flowering plants within the order Liliales. They are monocotyledonous, perennial, herbaceous, often bulbous geophytes. Plants in this family have evolved with a fai ....

Asparagaceae
Asparagaceae (), known as the asparagus family, is a family of flowering plants, placed in the order Asparagales of the monocots. The family name is based on the edible garden asparagus, '' Asparagus officinalis''. This family includes both common garden plants as well as common houseplants. The garden plants include asparagus, yucca, bluebell, lily of the valley, and hosta, and the houseplants include snake plant, corn cane, spider plant, and plumosus fern. The Asparagaceae is a morphologically heterogenous family with the included species varying widely in their appearance and growth form. It has a cosmopolitan distribution, with genera and species contained in the family native to all continents except Antarctica. Taxonomy Early taxonomy The plant family Asparagaceae was first named, described, and published in Genera Plantarum in 1789 by the French botanist Antoine Laurent de Jussieu, who is particularly noted for his work in developing the concept of pl ...

Rohdea
''Rohdea'' is a genus of plants native to eastern Asia (China, Japan, the Himalayas and Indochina).

Liriope (plant)
''Liriope'' is a genus of low, grass-like flowering plants from East and Southeast Asia. Some species are often used in landscaping in temperate latitudes. It may be called " lilyturf" in North America, although it is neither a true grass (family Poaceae) nor a lily (genus ''Lilium''). In the APG III classification system, it is placed in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Nolinoideae (formerly the family Ruscaceae). Like many lilioid monocots, it was once classified with lilies in the family Liliaceae; it has also been placed in the former family Convallariaceae. The genus was named for the nymph Liriope of Greek mythology. Background and pronunciation ''Liriope'' are usually used in the garden for their evergreen foliage as a groundcover. Some species, e.g., ''L. spicata'', grow aggressively in the right conditions, spreading by runners; hence their nickname, "creeping lilyturf". In the southeastern United States ''Liriope'' is sometimes referred to by the common name mo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nolina
''Nolina'' is a genus of tropical xerophytic flowering plants belonging to the family Asparagaceae. The native distribution of the genus includes most of Mexico and the southern regions of the United States.Hochstätter, F. (2010). The genus ''Nolina'' (Nolinaceae). Piante Grasse 2010(1, Suppl.): 1-48. Especially in the USA, members of the genus are known as beargrasses, some of which are cultivated as ornamental plants. ''Nolina'' species grow large rosettes of many leaves, with many species forming large, erect trunks, with some species branching to contain multiple rosettes of leaves. They are typically large plants, and are dioecious, with male and female flowers being produced on different plants. The genus is named for 18th century French arboriculturist Abbé C. P. Nolin. Classification In the APG III classification system of plant taxonomy, ''Nolina'' is a member of the Asparagaceae family of plants, and within this family, ''Nolina'' is part of a subfamily, the Nol ...

''Dracaena'' () is a genus of about 200 species of trees and succulent shrubs. The formerly accepted genera '' Pleomele'' and '' Sansevieria'' are now included in ''Dracaena''. In the APG IV classification system, it is placed in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Nolinoideae (formerly the family Ruscaceae).

Aspidistra
''Aspidistra'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family (biology), family Asparagaceae, subfamily Nolinoideae, native to eastern and southeastern Asia, particularly China and Vietnam.

Polygonatum
''Polygonatum'' , also known as King Solomon's-seal or Solomon's seal, is a genus of flowering plants. In the APG III classification system, it is placed in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Nolinoideae (formerly the family Ruscaceae). It has also been classified in the former family Convallariaceae and, like many lilioid monocots, was formerly classified in the lily family, Liliaceae. The genus is distributed throughout the temperate Northern Hemisphere. Most of the approximately 63 species occur in Asia, with 20 endemic to China.Wujisguleng, W., et al. (2012)Ethnobotanical review of food uses of ''Polygonatum'' (Convallariaceae) in China.''Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae'' 81(4) 239-44. Etymology ''Polygonatum'' comes from the ancient Greek for "many knees", referring to the multiple jointed rhizome. One explanation for the derivation of the common name "Solomon's seal" is that the roots bear depressions which resemble royal seals. Another is that the cut roots res ...
