$Photo of an snowdrop flower or Galanthus nivalis growing and blooming at black background. Zoom out. \nSnowdrops have been known since the earliest times under various names, but were named Galanthus in 1753. As the number of recognised species increased, various attempts were made to divide the species into subgroups, usually on the basis of the pattern of the emerging leaves (vernation).

New species continue to be discovered.$
