I have updated eFI (efloraofindia) page on Dipcadi

Attempts have been made to incorporate most of the species available in India & nearby areas with details & keys directly or through links as far as possible.

Species discussed so far in efloraofindia are given at the bottom of the page in the form of links against Subpages. On clicking them one can see all the details.

Any comments/ corrections are welcome.


 

Pl. go through Dipcadi (Liliaceae) page with images of species (mainly done by D S Rawat ji) in efloraofindia.

If you find any mis-identification, pl. let us know. If anybody can send images of other species of this genera (for incorporation in the website), if any, it will be really nice.

Also, if anybody is interested to take up the activity of inserting images on efloraofindia pages from efloraofindia posts, pl. let us know.

Dipcadi genus belongs to Asparagaceae ; please shift this genus to Asparagaceae; Ref: Catalogue of life or the Plant list; 

Thanks, ..., for pointing out.
I have made the corrections.
