Allioideae (= Alliaceae sensu stricto)

Allieae

Alliaceae. [edit] Familia: Amaryllidaceae Subfamiliae: Agapanthoideae - Allioideae - Amaryllidoideae Overview of genera[edit] Name[edit] Amaryllidaceae J.St.

-Hil. (1805), nom. cons. Allioideae. Lauchgewächse. Allioideae. Note that quite a few of the plants that were once included in family Alliaceae have been assigned to the subfamily Brodiaeoideae (rather than the subfamily Allioideae).[1] Some of the species of Allium are important food plants for example onions (Allium cepa), chives (A. schoenoprasum), garlic (A. sativum and A. scordoprasum), and leeks (A. porrum).[2] Species of Allium, Gilliesia, Ipheion, Leucocoryne, Nothoscordum, and Tulbaghia are cultivated as ornamentals.[3] The largest genera are Allium (260-690 species), Nothoscordum (25), and Tulbaghia (22).[4] Some of the generic limits are not clear.

Ipheion, Nothoscordum, and possibly others are not monophyletic.[5] Genera[edit]
