'''Melanthiaceae''' is a [[family (biology)|family]] of [[flowering plants]] of [[perennial plant|perennial]] herbs of higher elevations and latitudes in the [[Northern Hemisphere]].<ref name="zomlefer">{{cite journal|<br />

Many authors have considered these plants to belong to the family [[Liliaceae]], in part because both their sepals and petals closely resemble each other and are often large and showy like the flowers of the Lily Family.<ref name="zomlefer"/><br />
<br />
The [[APG II system]], of 2003 (unchanged from the [[APG system]], of 1998), does recognize such a family and places it in the order [[Liliales]], in the clade [[monocots]]. As circumscribed by APG II it includes 11-16 genera of the plants that sometimes have been treated as family [[Trilliaceae]]. The family includes ''[[Paris quadrifolia]]'' and ''[[Trillium]]''.<br />
