Lomandroideae

Lomandroideae is a subfamily of monocot flowering plants in the family Asparagaceae, order Asparagales, according to the APG III system of 2009. The subfamily name is derived from the generic name of the type genus, Lomandra. The group has previously been treated as a separate family Laxmanniaceae.[1] In the Kubitzki system, it is treated as Lomandraceae Lotsy.[2]

Genera

Genera include:[3][4]

gollark: Time to become a burglar and steal people's stuff but not get punished because ownership is an arbitrary human construct!
gollark: well, that seems like a weird view if you apply it to physical objects, which constantly change slightly when they interact with their environment.
gollark: Which poses an interesting philosophical question: if you replace all the parts of a bot one by one, is it the same bot afterward?
gollark: Yes, but newer and shinier and also different in basically every way apparently.
gollark: ????
