Liliopsida

Publication of the name is credited to Scopoli (in 1760): see author citation (botany).

Earlier systems referred to this group by the name Monocotyledones, with Monocotyledoneae an earlier spelling (these names may be used in any rank).

Modern systems, such as the APG and APG II systems refer to this group by the name monocots (a name for a clade).

Therefore, in practice the name Liliopsida will almost surely refer to the usage as in the Cronquist system.

In summary the monocotyledons were named: Each of the systems mentioned above use their own internal taxonomy for the group.
