澳韭兰科共有2属12种，全部生长在澳大利亚沿海各地干旱地带。 本科植物为耐旱多年生草本；叶子类似韭菜；有树枝状矮茎和外露的支撑根；花小，聚生在花茎顶端；果实为蒴果。 1981年的克朗奎斯特分类法将其列在百合科中，1998年根据基因亲缘关系分类的APG 分类法认为应该单独分出一个科，放到天门冬目之下， 2003年经过修订的APG II 分类法维持原分类。

Boryaceae is a family of highly drought-tolerant flowering plants native to Australia, placed in the order Asparagales of the monocots. The family includes two genera, with twelve species in total in Australia.
Until recently, this family was not recognized by many taxonomists; most systems put the two genera, Borya and Alania, in the Anthericaceae or the Liliaceae. The 2016 APG IV system (unchanged from the 1998, 2003 and 2009 versions) does recognize this family and places it in the order Asparagales, in the clade monocots, based on molecular phylogenetic evidence that shows the two genera form a clade.
