Galantheae
Summary
Galantheae is a tribe of plants belonging to the subfamily Amaryllidoideae of the Amaryllis family (Amaryllidaceae). , it contains three genera, although more were included previously. The position of the ovary is inferior.
For a history of the circumscription of Galantheae, see Meerow et al. 2006. A narrower sense of the tribe is now favoured, with only three genera.
The placement of Galantheae within subfamily Amaryllidoideae is shown in the
following cladogram:
Included genera are:
Acis Salisb.
Galanthus L.
Leucojum L.
Previously included were:
Hannonia
Lapiedra
Vagaria
Galantheae represent one of the three European tribes of Amaryllidaceae (predominantly Mediterranean).
Some species of Acis, Galanthus and Leucojum are common ornamental garden plants.
