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 ^[update] , it contains three genera, although more were included previously. The position of the ovary is inferior.

Taxonomy

For a history of the circumscription of Galantheae, see Meerow et al. 2006. ^[1] A narrower sense of the tribe is now favoured, with only three genera. ^[2]

Phylogeny

The placement of Galantheae within subfamily Amaryllidoideae is shown in the following cladogram:

Distribution and habitat

Galantheae represent one of the three European tribes of Amaryllidaceae (predominantly Mediterranean).

Cultivation

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