Editing Liliales (section)

==== Origins ====

The [[botanical authority]] for Liliales is given to [[Perleb]] (1826), who grouped eleven families ([[Asparageae]], [[Pontederiaceae]], [[Asphodeleae]], [[Coronariae]],{{efn|Coronariae used ''[[sensu]]'' [[Carl Adolph Agardh|Agardh]] (1825),{{sfn|Agardh|1825}} that is corresponding to Linnaeus' Liliaceae}} [[Colchicaceae]], [[Dioscoreaceae]], [[Hypoxideae]], [[Amaryllideae]], [[Haemodoraceae]], [[Burmanniaceae]], [[Irideae]]) into an order he called Liliaceae.{{sfn|Perleb|1826}} In Perleb's system, he divided the [[vascular plants]] into seven classes, of which the [[Phanerogams|Phanerogamicae]] or seed plants he called his class IV, or Ternariae. The latter, he divided into five orders (''ordo''), including the Liliaceae.{{sfn|Perleb|1826}}

A number of later [[taxonomist]]s, such as Endlicher (1836) substitituted the term Coronarieae for this higher order, including six subordinate taxa. Endlicher divided the [[Cormophyta]] into five sections, of which Amphibrya contained eleven classes, including Coronarieae.{{sfn|Endlicher|1836}} The term Liliales was introduced by [[John Lindley|Lindley]] (1853),{{sfn|Lindley|1853}} referring to these higher orders as [[Alliance (taxonomy)|alliances]]. Lindley included four families in this alliance. Lindley called the monocots class Endogenae, with eleven alliances including Liliales.{{sfn|Lindley|1853}} Although [[George Bentham|Bentham]] (1877) restored Coronariae as one of seven [[Series (botany)|Series]] making up the [[monocotyledons]],{{sfn|Bentham|Hooker|1883}} it was replaced by Liliiflorae and then Liliales in subsequent publications (''see [[#famtab|Table]] for history'').{{sfn|Singh|2010|loc=p.&nbsp;312''ff''.}}
