Galantheae
Galantheae is a tribe of European, West Asian and North African flowering plants belonging to the subfamily Amaryllidoideae of the Amaryllis family (Amaryllidaceae). As of 2017, it contains three genera, although more were included previously. The position of the ovary is inferior.

Cultivation
Some species of Acis, Galanthus and Leucojum are common ornamental garden plants.
