Saponins are recorded from Allium, Nothoscordum, Leucocoryne, Tristagma and Gilliesia, and not recorded as being absent in any species of Alliaceae. The Amaryllidaceae include many ornamental garden plants such as daffodils, snowdrops and snowflake, pot plants such as amaryllis and Clivia, and vegetables, such as onions, chives , leeks and garlic. Allioideae is a subfamily of monocot flowering plants in the family Amaryllidaceae, order Asparagales. The endosperm is Nuclear in Allium and Helobial in Nothoscordum and Tulbaghia. Seeds of some Allium species are dispersed by ants (e.g. Reg. Affinities. Leucocoryne Lindl., Bot. 1975. 1928. In the stores, they can be available in fresh, frozen, canned, pickled, powdered, and dehydrated forms.While buying, look for fresh ones that are clean, uniform, well-developed bulbs with dry, flaky outer (tunic) layers.

In Nothoscordum, embryo-sac development follows the Polygonum type, while in Allium and Leucocoryne the megaspore mother cell undergoes only the first meiotic division and the chalazal dyad cell develops into an bisporic Allium-type embryo sac (Davis 1966).

If you know which vegetables are in the same family then you can avoid planting the same family of vegetables in the same location. Miersia, 11. Alliaceae were divided into three subfamilies: Allioideae (with Allium and Milula); Tul-baghioideae (with Tulbaghia only); and Gilliesioideae with the rest of the genera here placed in Alliaceae.
