Various authorities (e.g. [[Integrated Taxonomic Information System|ITIS]] 16,<ref name=ITIS_Liliaceae/> [[Germplasm Resources Information Network|GRIN]] 27,<ref name=GRIN_Liliaceae/> [[World Checklist of Selected Plant Families|WCSP]],<ref name=WCSP_Liliaceae/> [[National Center for Biotechnology Information|NCBI]],<ref name=NCBI/> DELTA<ref name=WatsonL/> ) differ on the exact number of genera included in Liliaceae ''s.s.'', but generally there are about fifteen to sixteen genera, depending on whether or not ''[[Amana (plant)|Amana]]'' is included in ''[[Tulipa]]'' and ''Lloydia'' in ''[[Gagea]]''.

Currently the APWeb lists fifteen genera, arranged as shown in this table:<ref name = "Stevens 2001"/><ref name=Mabberley/>
