The genus Asparagus was formerly in the Lily Family. The Genus Chionodoxa is now called Genus Scilla and remains within the Asparagaceae Family. Some taxonomists now put Garden Asparagus and Wild Asparagus in the Asperagaceae Family a brand new Family, but not everone agrees. Some leave it be in its original Lily Family. The Asparagaceae Family has now subsumed several sub-families: Agavaceae (Agave) Convalariaceae (Lily-of-the-Valley) Dracaenaceae (Dragon's-blood Trees) Hyacinthaceae (Hyancinth) Laxmanniaceae (Cabbage-Palm) Ruscaceae (Butcher's-Broom) Themidaceae Text on Family goes here
