Abstract
A new species of Dipcadi (Hyacinthaceae) that is allied to D. concanense (Dalzell) Baker but differs in its small flowers (13 – 18 mm long vs 35 – 47 mm long) and funnel shaped perianth tube (5 – 6 × 5 – 6 mm vs 18 – 27 × 4 – 5.5 mm) is described as D. goaense. The new species is apparently endemic, because it is known only from the type locality in Goa state of India. The type locality is at the foothills of Western Ghats and the habitat is a soil covered, lateritic, open area.
