ASPARAGACEAE
   
Tasmania has six native genera and five introduced genera in the Asparagaceae family. They include all the genera formerly in the Laxmanniaceae and Lomandraceae families.

These genera were once considered to be part of Liliaceae, which was a very artificial grouping of plants and has therefore been splintered into numerous families. To see the fates of the other Tasmanian genera formerly in Liliaceae click here.
