A revision of the family Asparagaceae in Thailand is presented. One genus, Asparagus L., with two native species is recognized viz. A. filicinus Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don and A. racemosus Willd. Five introduced species commonly cultivated in Thailand are included; A. aethiopicus L., A. densiflorus (Kunth) Jessop, A. officinalis L., A. setaceus (Kunth) Jessop and A. simulans Baker. A key to these seven species with descriptions, distribution, ecology and vernacular names of each species are provided.
