Мелантиевые

Melanthiaceae — ботаническое название семейства цветковых растений, многолетних травянистых растений of higher elevations and latitudes in the Северное полушарие. The family has been recognized by relatively few taxonomists, and the circumscription has varied. Many authors have considered these plants to belong to the family Liliaceae, in part because both their sepals and petals closely resemble each other and are often large and showy like the flowers of the Lily Family.
