Chionodoxa

(glory-of-the-snow), a genus of bulbous plants of the family Liliaceae. The leaves are radical and linear, and the flowers are in few-flowered racemes with low, leafless pedicels. The lobes of the perianth are fused at the base; the bell-shaped to funnel-shaped (or almost stellate) perianth is blue-violet, blue-purple (sometimes with an eyelet), blue, white, or pink (in cultivated forms). The stamens are free. Flowering occurs in early spring. There are about six species, found in Asia Minor and on the islands of the Eastern Mediterranean in mountains at elevations to 2,000 m. All species are decorative; most frequently cultivated is the species C. luciliae and its varieties.
