The Alliaceae can be separated from Amaryllidaceae morphologically mainly by its superior ovary, as opposed to superior in Amaryllidaceae. It can be separated from Agapanthaceae by its radially arranged leaves, as opposed to strongly distichous in Agapanthaceae As reconstituted by the APG (Angiosperm Phylogeny Group system), Amaryllidaceae s.l. consists of three subfamilies, Agapanthoideae, Allioideae and Amaryllidoideae, corresponding to the three families that were subsumed into it: Agapanthoideae (Agapanthaceae) Allioideae (Alliaceae) Amaryllidoideae (Amaryllidaceae s.s.) Amaryllidaceae - Key differences From Alliaceae s.s.: lack of allyl sulfide compounds, inferior ovary. From Agapanthaceae: lack of steroid saponins, inferior ovary. From Alliaceae s.s. and Agapanthaceae: presence of unique amaryllidaceous alkaloids.
