Tasmania has
four introduced genera in the onion family, Alliaceae. The family
includes onions, leeks, garlic and a number of simular plants.
These genera were once considered to be part of Liliaceae, which was
a very artificial grouping of plants and has therefore been
splintered in numerous families. To see the fates of the other
Tasmanian genera formerly in Liliaceae click
