Hemerocallidaceae is the botanical name of a family of flowering plants. Such a family has been recognized by relatively few taxonomists and the circumscription of the family has varied.
The APG II system, of 2003, does not recognize this family, not as such, but allows it to be segregated from the family Xanthorrhoeaceae, as an optional segregate. In as far as APG II accepts this family it is placed in the order Asparagales, in the clade monocots. This is the same placement as in the APG system, of 1998, which did firmly recognize this family.
According to the AP-website, the family then includes a dozen-and-a-half genera including two popular genera of garden plants, the daylilies (Hemerocallis) and New Zealand flax (Phormium).
