Family of flowering plants
Boryaceae is a family of highly drought-tolerant flowering plants native to Australia , placed in the order Asparagales of the monocots .[ 2] genera , with twelve species in total[ 3] Australia .
Until recently, this family was not recognized by many taxonomists , with most systems putting the two genera, Borya Alania Anthericaceae or the Liliaceae . The 2016 APG IV system (unchanged from the 1998, 2003 and 2009 versions) does recognize this family and places it in the order Asparagales , in the clade monocots , based on molecular phylogenetic evidence that shows the two genera form a clade .[ 4]
