Galanthus
''Galanthus'' (from Ancient Greek , (, "milk") + (, "flower")), or snowdrop, is a small genus of approximately 20 species of bulbous perennial herbaceous plants in the family Amaryllidaceae. The plants have two linear leaves and a single small white drooping bell-shaped flower with six petal-like (petaloid) tepals in two circles (whorls). The smaller inner petals have green markings. Snowdrops 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). In the era of molecular phylogenetics this characteristic has been shown to be unreliable and now seven molecularly defined clades are recognised that correspond to the biogeographical distribution of species. New species continue to be discovered. Most species flower in winter, before the vernal equi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

MV Snowdrop
The MV ''Snowdrop'' is a Mersey Ferry in operation on the River Mersey, England. From launch until a major refit in 2003, she was named MV ''Woodchurch''. MV ''Woodchurch'' The ''Woodchurch'' was the sister ship of the MV ''Mountwood''. Both ferries were built for Birkenhead Corporation and were based loosely on the designs of the Wallasey ferries ''Leasowe'' and ''Egremont''. They were built by the same company, Messrs. Philip & Son Ltd. of Dartmouth and designed by naval architects Graham and Woolnough. There was some local surprise when the contract was awarded to Philip & Son because Cammell Laird Shipbuilders were "next door" to the Birkenhead Ferry Terminal and it was thought that Lairds would automatically build the new ferry boats. However, their price was not considered competitive. Named after an overspill post-war housing development of Birkenhead, the ''Woodchurch'' was the second of the new Birkenhead diesel ferries.
