*Hemerocallidaceae R. Brown. Day-lily Family.
A family of about 19 genera and 85 species, herbs, largely of the Old World and especially Australia and s. Africa. APG IV (2016) recommended that Hemerocallidaceae and Xanthorrhoeaceae be included within a very broadly circumscribed Asphodelaceae, but I here follow Seberg et al. (2012) in recognizing somewhat smaller monophyletic families that are more easily circumscribed, characterized, and described.
