The principal family of the _Liliifloræ_ is the _Liliaceæ_, including some of the most beautiful of all flowers. All of the true lilies (_Lilium_), as well as the day lilies (_Funkia_, _Hemerocallis_) of the gardens, tulips, hyacinths, lily-of-the-valley, etc., belong here, as well as a number of showy wild flowers including several species of tiger-lilies (_Lilium_), various species of _Trillium_ (Fig. 83, _A_), Solomon's-seal (_Polygonatum_) (Fig. 83, _B_), bellwort (_Uvularia_), and others. In all of these, except _Trillium_, the perigone leaves are colored alike, and the leaves parallel-veined; but in the latter the sepals are green and the leaves broad and netted-veined. The fruit of the _Liliaceæ_ may be either a pod, like that of the adder's-tongue, or a berry, like that of asparagus or Solomon's-seal. Differing from the true lilies in having the bases of the perigone leaves adherent to the surface of the ovary, so that the latter is apparently below the flower (inferior), and lacking the inner circle of stamens, is the iris family (_Iridaceæ_), represented by the wild blue-flag (_Iris versicolor_) (Fig. 84, _A_, _E_), as well as by numerous cultivated species. In iris the carpels are free above and colored like the petals (_B_), with the stigma on the under side. Of garden flowers the gladiolus and crocus are the most familiar examples, besides the various species of iris; and of wild flowers the little "blue-eyed grass" (_Sisyrinchium_).

The last family of the order is the _Bromeliaceæ_, all inhabitants of the warmer parts of the globe, but represented in the southern states by several forms, the commonest of which is the so-called "gray moss" (_Tillandsia_) (Fig. 84, _F_, _H_). Of cultivated plants the pineapple, whose fruit consists of a fleshy mass made up of the crowded fruits and the fleshy flower stalks, is the best known. ORDER II.--_Enantioblastæ_.
