Asparagales is an orderOrder is one of the levels of scientific classification of organisms. Orders are grouped into classes and themselves contain families. The standard groupings of taxonomy from most general to most specific are: Domain Kingdom Phylum (animals); Division (pl of monocots which includes a number of families of non-woody plants. In older classification systems, the families now included in the Asparagales were included in order LilialesAlstroemeriaceae Campynemataceae Colchicaceae Corsiaceae Liliaceae Luzuriagaceae Melanthiaceae Philesiaceae Ripogonaceae Smilacaceae Liliales is an order of monocotyledonous flowering plants. The representatives of this order are mostly herbaceous, but li, and some genera of which were even included in family LiliaceaeCalochortus Cardiocrinum Clintonia Erythronium Fritillaria Gagea Korolkowia Lilium Lloydia Nomocharis Notholirion Scoliopus Streptopus Tricyrtis Tulipa The Liliaceae or the Lily Family is an important family of monocotyledons that includes a great number. Some classification systems separate some of the families listed below into additional orders, including orders OrchidalesThismiaceae Orchidaceae Orchids The Orchidales used to be divided into the following families: Thismiaceae : is now considered a sister to and included in the family Burmanniaceae, which belongs to another order Dioscoreales. Orchidaceae The orchid family and Iridales , while other systems, especially the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group's classification system, include the Orchidales and Iridales within the Asparagales. The order is named for the asparagus.

The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group's classification system is widely used by botanists, and was updated as the APG II in 2002 to include recent findings, especially in DNA analysis. Their 1998 scheme identified 29 families in order Asparagales. The APG II consolidates some families, and recognizes an alternative system of fewer, larger families, in which certain smaller families can be grouped within other larger families based on close genetic affinities and still follow the 'APG system'. Under the new classification system one could, for example, correctly include daylilies ( Hemerocallis) in family Hemerocallidaceae, or in family Xanthorrhoeaceae. The APG II classification of the Asparagales is as follows:

Classification systems that separate the Asparagales, Orchidales and Iridales are generally organized as follows:
