Position of Asphodelus in our database

[Gurcharan Singh]

Garg ji,

Having reached family Asphodelaceae, I was surprised to find that genus Asphodelus is not listed under this family, the only genus listed is Aristaloe, all rest of the genera being listed under Xanthorrhoeaceae, This is both in old and new Websites. Please bring all the genera together under Asphodelaceae, Xanthorrhoeaceae being synonym.

Thanks, Singh ji, for pointing out. 

I have been following as per The Plant List.

Interestingly both the Plant List and its New Version do not know about the genus Aristaloe, although KEW database includes it under Asphodelaceae. The point is we can't have Asphodelaceae without Asphodelus as one of its genera.
