I'm on vacation, so only a short written accompaniment today. – Daniel

Thanks to Ray in Launceston, Tasmania (aka sparramc@Flickr) for these two images submitted via the BPotD Flickr Group Pool (original image 1 and original image 2).

The Plants for a Future database entry on pale vanilla lily notes that the roots of this species are edible. For a photograph of the roots, see the Australian Bulb Association's image gallery for Arthropodium milleflorum (and see more images of this plant and its relatives on the Arthropodium page).

Agavaceae is a probably a better family for this, and is the one suggested by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group. Recent phylogenetic work has discovered that Anthericum and Agave are in the same clade. Anthericaceae is a J. Agardh name dating from 1858, whereas Agavaceae is a Dumortier name from 1829. So Agavaceae has priority.
