'''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.
