Nartheciaceae is a botanical name of a family of flowering plants. Such a family has only rarely been recognized by systems of plant taxonomy.
The APG III system does recognize such a family and places it in the order Dioscoreales, in the clade monocots. As circumscribed by APG III it includes a few dozen species of herbaceous plants in four or five genera, including:[1]
- Aletris
- Lophiola
- Metanarthecium
- Narthecium
- Nietneria
