Leucojum vernum
Leucojum vernum, called spring snowflake,[2] is a perennial bulbous flowering plant species in the family Amaryllidaceae (the daffodil family).[1] It native to central and southern Europe from Belgium to Ukraine. It is considered naturalized in north-western Europe, including Great Britain and parts of Scandinavia, and in Georgia and Florida in the United States. It is cultivated as a spring-flowering ornamental bulbous plant. Usually a single white flower with greenish marks near the tip of each tepal is borne on a stem about 10–20 cm tall, occasionally more.
Description
Leucojum vernum is a perennial bulbous plant, 12–35 cm tall in flower. Its leaves, which appear at the same time as the flowers and continue to elongate during flowering, are 5–25 mm wide and 10–25 cm long, generally reaching to below the level of the flowers. The flowering stem (scape) has a small central cavity and two narrow wings. The pendant flowers appear in spring and are usually solitary, rarely in an umbel of two. The flowers have six white tepals, each with a greenish or yellowish mark just below the tip. Each tepal is 15–25 mm long. The whitish seeds are about 7 mm long.[2][3][4]
Taxonomy
Leucojum vernum was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753.[1][5] The epithet vernum means "of the spring".[6]
Varieties
Two varieties are accepted by the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families:[7]
Leucojum vernum var. carpathicum Sweet – Carpathian Mountains (Czech Republic, Romania, Ukraine)
Leucojum vernum var. vernum
L. vernum var. carpathicum is distinguished by presence of yellow rather than greenish markings at the tip of each tepal. Some botanists also recognize var. vagneri, with two flowers per scape.[2]
