CLASSIFICATION

Angiosperm Phylogeny Group III Classification

Cladus: Eukaryota
Regnum: Plantae
Cladus: Angiospermae
Cladus: Monocots
Ordo: Liliales
Familia: Liliaceae
Subfamilia: Lilioideae
Genus: Fritillaria
Molecular Phylogenetic Relationship of Subfamilia Lilioideae
Lilioideae

Relationship tree addapted from İkinci et al. (2006), Hayashi & Kawano (2000), Nishikawa et al. (2001), Rønsted et al. (2005), Zarrei et al. (2009).

Four morphological infrageneric classifications of the genus Fritillaria have been published: Baker (1874), Bentham & Hooker (1883), Boissier (1882) and Turrill & Sealy (1980). Fritillaria is currently being revised by Martyn Rix and in his tentative list (Rix 2001) Korolkowia Regel and Rhinopetalum Fisch. ex J.E. Alexander are included as two of his eight subgenera. Also the endemic Japanese Fritillaria species are placed in their own subgenera Japonica. The inclusion of Korolkowia and Rhinopetalum was strongly supported by Rønsted et al. (2005) but the division of the genus into eight subgenera was only broadly supported. The phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequence data strongly supported two clades, a Eurasian clade and a mostly North America clade.
