Many authors have considered these plants to belong to the family Liliaceae, in part because both their sepals and petals closely resemble each other and are often large and showy like the flowers of the Lily Family. The Liliaceae, or the lily family, is a family of Monocotyledons in the order Liliales. [1]

The APG II system, of 2003 (unchanged from the APG system, of 1998), does recognize such a family and places it in the order Liliales, in the clade monocots. Liliales is an order of Monocotyledonous Flowering plants This order of necessity includes the family Liliaceae, but both the family and the order have Monocotyledons or monocots are one of two major groups of Flowering plants (angiosperms that are traditionally recognised the other being Dicotyledons As circumscribed by APG II it includes 11-16 genera of the plants that sometimes have been treated as family Trilliaceae. thumb|230px|''Trillium erectum'' Trilliaceae is the Botanical name of a family of Flowering plants.
