asparagus-like (Asparagales) with the lily-like (Liliales) in the flora of Central Europe, the most important order within the subclass of the lily-like (Liliidae) within the monocots (Liliopsida).
Description
They are mostly perennial herbaceous plants or succulents. The herbaceous taxa often have storage organs (bulbs or rhizomes). In the Asparagales occur succulents, never in the Liliales. The inflorescences are usually racemose. The flowers are threes. The fruits are in fan structured capsules with black seeds or berries. Often the cells Crystal sand in the form of raphides, which are needle-fine crystals (from calcium oxalate).
