Editing Liliales (section)

=== Phylogeny ===

The position of Liliales within the monocots (Lilianae) is shown in the following [[cladogram]]. The monocot orders form three [[evolutionary grade|grades]], the [[alismatid monocots]], [[lilioid monocots]] and the [[commelinid monocots]] by order of branching, from early to late. These have alternatively been referred to as Alismatanae, Lilianae and Commelinanae.{{sfn|Kubitzki|Rudall|Chase|1998}} The alismatid monocots form the [[basal group]], while the remaining grades (lilioid and commelinid monocots) have been referred to as the "core monocots".{{sfn|Anderson|Janssen|2009|loc=p.&nbsp;205}} The relationship between the orders (with the exception of the two sister orders) is [[wikt:pectinate|pectinate]], that is diverging in succession from the line that leads to the commelinids.{{sfn|ps=none|Davis et al.|2013}} The lilioid monocot orders constitute a [[paraphyletic]] assemblage, that is groups with a common ancestor that do not include all direct descendants (in this case commelinids which are a [[sister group]] to Asparagales); to form a clade, all the groups joined by thick lines would need to be included. In the cladogram the numbers indicate [[crown group]] (most recent common ancestor of the sampled species of the clade of interest) [[divergence times]] in [[mya (unit)|mya]] (million years ago).{{sfn|Hertwick et al.|2015}}
