EUCHARIS, in botany, a genus of plants of the family Am aryllidaceae, containing six species, natives of Colombia. Eucharis amazonica of Egradiflora is the best-known and most generally cultivated species. It is bulbous, with broad-stalked leaves, and an erect scape I to 2 ft. long, bearing an umbel of three to ten large, white, showy flowers. The flowers resemble the daffodil in having a prominent central cup or corona. The plant is propa gated by removing the offsets, which may be done in spring, potting them singly in 6-in. pots. It requires good loamy soil, with sand enough to keep the compost open, and should have a good supply of water. Other species met with in gardens are E. Bakeriana, E. Mastersii, E. Lowii and E. Sanderii. A remarkable hybrid between Eucharis and the allied genus Urceolina has been produced to which the compound name Urceocharis is given.
