- family Campynemataceae
- family Colchicaceae
- family Liliaceae
- family Luzuriagaceae
- family Melanthiaceae
- family Philesiaceae

The Cronquist system (1981) placed the order in subclass Liliidae in the class Liliopsida of division Magnoliophyta . It used a much wider circumscription (many of the plants here are assigned to Asparagales and Dioscoreales by APG II):

- family Dioscoreaceae
- family Haemodoraceae
- family Hanguanaceae

- family Liliaceae
- family Philydraceae
- family Pontederiaceae
- family Smilacaceae
- family Stemonaceae
- family Taccaceae
- family Velloziaceae

The Thorne system (1992) placed the order in superorder Lilianae in subclass Liliidae of class Magnoliopsida and used this circumscription:
- order Liliales
- family Alstroemeriaceae
- family Campynemataceae
- family Colchicaceae
- family Iridaceae
- family Liliaceae
- family Melanthiaceae
- family Trilliaceae
The Dahlgren system placed the order in superorder Lilianae in subclass Liliidae of class Magnoliopsida and used this circumscription:
- order Liliales
- family Alstroemeriaceae
- family Calochortaceae
- family Colchicaceae
- family Iridaceae
- family Liliaceae
- family Uvulariaceae
In the Engler system (1964 update) a similar order was named Liliiflorae, placed in the class Monocotyledoneae of the subdivision Angiospermae.
The Wettstein system, last revised in 1935, used names similar to those in the Engler system: the order was named Liliiflorae placed in the class Monocotyledones of the subdivision Angiospermae. In circumscription the order was fairly similar to that of Cronquist.
Earlier names for this order include the Coronarieae of the Bentham & Hooker system.
