description

The Dipcadi species are perennial plants with underground onions that have papery or slightly fleshy onion scales. The leaves appearing with or after the flowers are linear to ribbon-shaped and rarely somewhat succulent .

The inflorescence is a loose, long-stalked spike . The inflorescence is white, greenish, yellowish or brownish and often glaucous . Its tepals, which are arranged in two clearly different circles, are fused together at their base and form a tube. The outer, spread-out, rising tepals have a thread-like to strongly conical appendage. The inner tepals, rising or spreading out at their tips, continue the perigone tube. The stamens are fused with the perigone tube at their base. The seated ovary contains numerous ovules .

The fruits are membrane-like capsule fruits . They contain compressed, winged seeds .
