|discussion=<p>The taxonomic position of <i>Lilaea</i> is uncertain. The genus often is treated as a monotypic family (Lilaeaceae) that is closely allied to the Juncaginaceae. <i>Lilaea</i>, for example, possesses lactifers, unknown in other Juncaginaceae. The lactifers, plus uncertainty regarding the interpretation of floral morphology in <i>Lilaea</i>, prompted a decision to retain it in the Liliaeaceae pending further study (P. B. Tomlinson 1982). Embryologic, cytologic, and palynologic evidence, however, indicate a close relationship between <i>Lilaea</i> and other genera of the Juncaginaceae. Despite the presence of lactifers, <i>Lilaea</i> has been considered similar enough to warrant the inclusion of the genus in the Juncaginaceae (A. Cronquist 1981). Molecular evidence also corroborates the close relationship between <i>Lilaea</i> and <i>Triglochin</i> (D. L. Les and R. R. Haynes 1995).</p>
