Liliales is an order of monocotyledonous flowering plants best known for its ornamental and economically important families like Liliaceae. Its members are primarily herbaceous perennials with bulbs, corms, or rhizomes, and are widely distributed across temperate and tropical regions. Flowers typically have showy, radially symmetrical petals arranged in threes, appealing to both pollinators and horticulturists.
Liliales includes species valued for cut flowers, horticulture, and traditional medicine. Many species are adapted to forest understories or open meadows, playing ecological roles as early-season bloomers. A notable commercial example is the lily (Lilium spp.), cultivated globally for ornamental use and symbolically important across cultures.
