Tricyrtis is a genus of Asian flowering plants in the lily family, with approximately 20 known species.

The genus has a native range from the Himalayas to eastern Asia, including China,[3] Japan,[4] Philippines and Taiwan,[5] and a few species are cultivated for their ornamental qualities in other parts of the world.

The inflorescences are most commonly thyrse or thyrsoid, or rarely the flowers are arranged into a raceme.

The six stamens are inserted at base of the tepals, and the filaments are slightly flattened, forming a short tube.

The three-angled fruits are broadly cylindrical capsules and when ripe release many small, flat, ovate to orbicular shaped seeds.
