'''Amaryllidaceae''' is the [[botanical name]] of a family of [[flowering plants]]. The plants are [[herbaceous]] [[perennial plant|perennial]]s that grow from [[bulb]]s, often with showy flowers. It consists of about sixty [[genus|genera]] (see [[list of Amaryllidaceae genera|list of genera]]), with over eight hundred [[species]]. Several genera are commonly grown in gardens, including:

*''[[Amaryllis]]'', the Belladonna Lily or Naked Lady
*''[[Caliphruria]]'', Amazon lily
*''[[Clivia]]'', the Kaffir lily
*''[[Crinum]]'', Swamp Lily
*''[[Eucharis (plant)|Eucharis]]'', Amazon Lily
*''[[Snowdrop|Galanthus]]'', Snowdrop
*''[[Habranthus]]'', Rain lily
*''[[Hippeastrum]]'', commonly sold as Amaryllis or Christmas Amaryllis.
*''[[Hymenocallis]]'', Peruvian Daffodil, Spider Lily
*''[[Leucojum]]'', Snowflake
*''[[Lycoris (genus)|Lycoris]]'', Spider Lily or Hurricane Flower
*''[[Narcissus (flower)|Narcissus]]'', Daffodil, Jonquil, and Narcissus
*''[[Pancratium (genus)|Pancratium]]'', Sea Daffodil
*''[[Sprekelia]]'', Jacobean lily
*''[[Sternbergia lutea]]'', Winter daffodil
*''[[Zephyranthes]]'', Rain lily, Zephyr lily

Amaryllidaceae has been recognized, with varying circumscriptions, by most classification systems of the 20th Century, although the [[Cronquist system]] included it within a very broadly defined [[Liliaceae]]. The two families have traditionally been separated by including species with inferior ovaries in Amaryllidaceae and those with superior ovaries in Liliaceae. The [[APG II system]] (2003) includes Amaryllidaceae in [[Alliaceae]] but allows for its optional recognition, in the order [[Asparagales]], in the [[monocots]] clade. The [[APG system]], of 1998, accepted this as a separate family.

Fay and Chase (1996) include ''[[Agapanthus]]'' in Amaryllidaceae (as subfamily Agapanthoideae) but the APG II system includes ''Agapanthus'' in Alliaceae, with optional recognition in its own family as [[Agapanthaceae]]. ''Agapanthus'' differs from other Amaryllidaceae in having superior ovaries.

Several genera are commonly grown in gardens, including:
+There are 71 genera and about 800 species, widely distributed but most abundant in the steppe regions of the tropics and subtropics. Five species are found in the northeastern United States. The largest genera are Crinum with 60 species, and Hypoxis; and Hippeastrum with 50 species each. The family is most closely related to the Liliaceae; less closely to the Iridaceae. The 6-parted perianth. 6 stamens with introrse anthers, and inferior 3-celled ovary, are together distinctive.
