THE COMMON SNOWDROP. 

 (Galanthus nivalis) 



A bulbous and scapigerous herb, 

 with a solitary pendulous white 

 flower. 



Root fibrous; fibres slender. 



Bulb small, ovoid; outer scales 

 membraneous. 



Leaves two, radical, linear, short 

 at time of flowering, but lengthening 

 considerably afterward, glabrous, in- 

 closed at the base in a membraneous 

 sheath. 



Inflorescence, a solitary scapigerous 

 flower; scape compressed, about six 

 inches tall, with a two-fir and two- 

 nerved spathe. 



Flower, solitary, drooping, sweet- 

 scented, upon a short foot-stalk. 



Perianth, superior, divided down to 

 the ovary into six segments in two 

 series; the three outer ones pure 

 white, oblong, about eight or nine 

 lines long, and spreading; the three 

 inner about half the length of the 

 outer, erect, notched, usually tipped 

 with green. 



Stamens, six, in two series, seated 

 upon the ovary; anthers pointed 

 connivent, opening at the top by 

 pores. 



Pistil, united; ovary inferior, three- 

 celled; style subulate; stigma, simple; 

 ovules several, in two rows on the 

 inner angles of each cell. 



Fruit not present. 



Native of the woods and shady 

 pastures of central and southern 

 Europe, extending eastward to the 

 Caucasus and northern into Holland; 

 naturalized in Great Britain and 

 Ireland. Cultivated for many cen- 

 turies past, and blossoms in early 

 Spring. 



Appreciated from time immemorial 

 by the ordinary people of western 

 lands as harbinger of spring, and re- 

 garded as an emblem of innocence, 

 constancy and purity. 



By the Federal Horticultural Board 

 considered a dangerous alien plant im- 

 migrant, and by Quarantine No. 37 

 prohibited from entering the United 

 States of America.
