Galantheae is a tribe of 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.

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]

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.
