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 fair .... Genera A possibly incomplete list of the genera included in the Nolinoideae is given below. The reference is to the source which places the genus in this subfamily.

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''. Those who live in the temperate climates may be surprised to learn that this family includes both common garden plants as well as common houseplants. The garden plants include asparagus, yucca, bluebell, and hosta, and the houseplants include snake plant, corn cane, spider plant and plumosus fern. Taxonomy In earlier classification systems, the species involved were often treated as belonging to the family Liliaceae. The APG II system of 2003 allowed two options as to the circumscription of the family: either Asparagaceae ''sensu lato'' ("in the wider sense") combining seven previously recognized families, or Asparagaceae ''sensu stricto'' ("in the strict sense") consisting of very few genera (notably '' Asparagus'', also '' Hemiphylacus''), but nevertheless to ...

Rohdea
''Rohdea'' is a genus of plants native to eastern Asia (China, Japan, the Himalayas and Indochina). It was long thought to contain only a single species, ''R. japonica'', but recent studies have resulted in several other taxa being transferred into the genus. In the APG III classification system, it is placed in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Nolinoideae (formerly the family Ruscaceae). It has also been placed in the former family Convallariaceae. Although sometimes misspelled as ''Rhodea'', the genus was actually named after Michael Rohde (1782-1812), a botanist from Bremen.

Aspidistra
''Aspidistra'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Nolinoideae, native to eastern and southeastern Asia, particularly China and Vietnam. They grow in shade under trees and shrubs. Their leaves arise more or less directly from ground level, where their flowers also appear. The number of species known has increased considerably from the 1980s onwards, with around 100 accepted . '' Aspidistra elatior'' is common worldwide as a foliage house plant that is very tolerant of neglect. It and other species can also be grown in shade outside, where they are generally hardy to . Description Species of ''Aspidistra'' are perennial herbaceous plants growing from rhizomes. The leaves are either solitary or are grouped in small "tufts" of two to four. They arise more or less directly from the rhizome, rather than being borne on stems. Each leaf has a long stalk ( petiole) and a blade with many veins. The flowering stem ( scape) is usually very short so tha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

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 na ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dracaena (plant)
''Dracaena'' () is a genus of about 120 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). It has also formerly been separated (sometimes with ''Cordyline'') into the family Dracaenaceae or placed in the Agavaceae (now Agavoideae). The name ''dracaena'' is derived from the romanized form of the Ancient Greek – ''drakaina'', "female dragon". The majority of the species are native to Africa, southern Asia through to northern Australia, with two species in tropical Central America. Description Species of ''Dracaena'' have a secondary thickening meristem in their trunk, termed Dracaenoid thickening by some authors, which is quite different from the thickening meristem found in dicotyledonous plants.

''Calibanus'' is a genus of two species of flowering plants, both evergreen succulents from dry areas of northeastern Mexico. The APG III classification system places it in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Nolinoideae (formerly the family Ruscaceae.) It was formerly included in the Agavaceae (now Agavoideae) but is now separated from them, for it is polycarpic and dioecious.
