Dipcadi (meaning uncertain). Including Tricharis and Uropetalum. Liliaceae. Tender bulbous scapose plants of minor importance, allied to Galtonia.

Leaves radical, thickish, narrowly Iinear: scape simple and leafless, bearing  loose racemes of odd- colored fls.; perianth with a cylindrical tube, the lobes mostly equaling or  exceeding the tube, the 3 exterior ones spreading or flaring and the 3 interior usually shorter and erect; stamens 6, on the throat of the perianth, the anthers linear and attached by the back: ovary sessile, ovoid or oblong, becoming a 3-sided dehiscent caps.: bulb tunicated.—About 60 species in S. Eu.; Trop. and S. Afr. and India. During the winter, their resting time, the bulbs should be kept dry. A compost of light, sandy loam and leaf-mold has been recommended. Many species have been described in recent years from Trop. and S. Afr., and some of them may be expected to appear in the trade, and in lists of novelties.
