From the introduction: 'The genus Agapanthus, established by L'Heritier in 1788, was placed in Liliaceae Tribus Allieae by Bentham and Hooker and this position was generally accepted until Hutchinson in his Families of Flowering Plants Monocotyledons (1934) removed from Liliaceae Agapantheae, which he separated from Allieae and Gilliesieae, and placed them in Amaryllidaceae. Hutchinson considers the umbellate inflorescence to be of greater taxonomic importance than the superior ovary in distinguishing the families Liliaceae and Amaryllidaceae. I adhere to the older classification. The name Agapanthus is derived from the Greek agape—love and anthos—flower.'
