Snowdrop or Galanthus ( lat. Galánthus ) genus of perennial herbs of the family Amaryllidaceae. It includes 18 species and two hybrids of natural origin. There are 12 species on the territory of the former USSR.

The scientific name of the plant is formed from the Latinized Greek words γάλα ( gála ) and ἄνθος ( ánthos ) which can be understood as a milk flower given by the color of flowers. The name snowdrop is associated with the early flowering of plants flowers appear immediately from under the snow in early spring and live very short.

Bulb 2-3 cm in diameter: 476 consists of scales of one or two preceding years and buds of renewal. Annually there are 3 scales one from the bottom sheet and two from the bottom of the assimilating leaves. Scales are concentric and one formed from the base of the leaf preceding the flower is not closed. Babies are located in the sinuses of the scales of the mother bulb.

Leaves in number of two occasionally three linear or oblong-lanceolate come out from the neck of each bulb. Leaves appear simultaneously with buds and during flowering are equal or much shorter than the peduncle. Later, after flowering they grow reaching a length of 10-20 cm and a width of 0.5-3 cm. The color of the leaves varies from light green with a yellow shade ( Galanthus woronowii ) to dark green ( Galanthus alpinus ). They can be shiny matte with a greasy shine or with a wax coating.
