Narrative

Family Amaryllidaceae, the Daffodils (Narcissus) and Amaryllis, are sometimes combined with the Agaves to make a larger family. Some authorities combine the Amaryllis group into the lily family. Here, the three groups have been arbitrarily separated as some authors believe they should be separate families. The Amaryllidaceae family contains about 1400 species organized into about 70 different genera.
