 Galanthus (Greek, milk flower). Amaryllidaceae. Snowdrop. Spring-blooming bulbs (one autumnal), with solid scapes and solitary nodding white flowers. Bulb tunieated, small: lvs. 2-3, strap-shaped: perianth without tube, outer and inner segms. unlike; stamens 6: fr. a 3-valved caps., more or less fleshy.— Probably a half-dozen species, in Eu. and W. Asia. The flowers of snowdrops (G. nivalis, Fig. 1615) are amongst the smallest and daintiest of common hardy cult, spring-blooming bulbs. They often bloom in early March, before all the snow has gone. Their pendulous white fls., with the "heart-shaped seal of green" dear to Rossetti, hold a unique place in the affections of lovers of gardens. At first sight the fls. seem to have 3 large white petals, inclosing a green-and-white tube with 6 tips, but a second glance shows that the parts that function as petals are the outer segms. of the perianth, while the 3 inner ones, with their 2-lobed tips, are not grown together, but overlap slightly, forming a rather crude but stiffish tube. Each plant has a globose coated bulb, 2-3 lvs., grows 6-9 in. high, and bears usually only 1 nodding fl., which emerges from a spathe. Behind the perianth is the globose green ovary.

 There are several types of minor importance. The autumn-flowering kinds, representing many Latin names, as G. octobrensis, G. corcyrensis, G. reginae- olgae, are usually weak-growing plants. However, much is hoped from G. cicilicus, especially by the florists, who have hitherto found no snowdrop that could be profitably forced for Christmas. Doubleness seems to add nothing to the beauty of snowdrops. So far it seems to have affected only the inner segments of G. nivalia and G. elwesii. Yellow snowdrops are also practically unknown in America. In these the heart-shaped spot and the ovary are yellow instead of green. Of these, G. flavescens is perhaps one of the best.

-G. attenii, Baker, has cone-shaped fls., pure white, but the petals "crimped into a distinctly large, horseshoe-Like patch of green just below the wavy fold of the tips." Gn. 87, p. 53.—G. Alkinsii, Hort. Two plants seem to be cult, under this name, according to S. Arn., one a pure whit* one. the other frequently has an additional perianth-segm., also misshapen blooms. Doth are scarcely known outside of England. Gn. 74, p. 154. By some supposed to be a form of G. nivalis.—G. olgae, Orph. Outer segms. about 1 in. long; inner ones half as long, pl.mi. white, with rounded lobes. Blooms in Oct. Greece.—G. reginae-olgae, Hort.=G. Olga.
