Lanariaceae is a monotypic family of flowering plants, placed in the order Asparagales of the monocots.^[2] The family has only recently been recognized by taxonomists. The APG III system of 2009 (unchanged from the 1998 and 2003 versions) does recognize this family. The family includes a single genus, Lanaria containing a single species, Lanaria lanata, occurring in South Africa.^[3] Lanaria lanata is commonly known as Cape edelweiss or lambtails.
