High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Xeronemataceae is family of flowering plants in the Asparagales order. The name was published in 2000 and has therefore been recognized only in recent taxonomies. The APG II system, of 2003 does recognize this family and places it in the order Asparagales, in the clade monocots. The single genus in the family, Xeronema, with two species, has been variously placed in the family Asphodelaceae or the family Hemerocallidaceae in other taxonomic systems. One species, Xeronema callistemon, is native to two islands off of the north coast of the North Island of New Zealand and the other, Xeronema moorei, is native to New Caledonia. The plants are herbaceous monocots, spreading by rhizomes, and have large flowers set on terminal spikes, with stamens towering above the flowers.
