They have flowers with three stamens which have flattened filaments. Their seeds are flattened and angular. The basic chromosome numbers range from ''n'' = 2 to ''n'' = 10.<ref name=APweb_Scilloideae/> In the treatment by Manning et al. (2009) and Stevens at the [[Angiosperm Phylogeny Website]], the tribe contains four genera, ''[[Albuca]]'' (about 110–140 species), ''[[Dipcadi]]'', ''[[Ornithogalum]]'' (about 160 species, including ''Galtonia'' and ''Neopatersonia'') and ''[[Pseudogaltonia]]''.<ref name=APweb_Scilloideae/><ref name=MannForeDeveFay09/> By contrast, Martínez-Azorín et al.
