282 GALANTHUS 



Galanthus L. Amaryllidaceae (l). 6 Eur., Medit. G. nivalis L. 

 (snowdrop) in Brit. Bulb with i-fl. scape. P in two whorls. On 

 the inner surface of the inner P-l. are green grooves secreting honey. 

 The bud is erect, but the open fl. pendulous, visited by bees. The 

 sta. dehisce by apical slits and lie close against the style. Each has 

 a process outwards from the anther. The stigma projects and is first 

 touched by an insect; in probing for honey it shakes the sta. and 

 receives a shower of pollen (cf. Erica). Autogamy may occur in old 

 fls. The fl. remains open a long time. Cult. orn. fl.
