Which genus has more species, Galanthus or Rhodanthemum?
Galanthus Galanthus (snowdrop; Greek "gála" "milk", "ánthos" "flower") is a small genus of about 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.
Geogenanthus poeppigii Geogenanthus poeppigii, commonly called the seersucker plant, is a flowering plant species in the family "Commelinaceae" (the dayflower & spiderwort family). As currently circumscribed, the genus "Geogenanthus" includes two other species, "G. ciliatus" and "G. rhizanthus". This species is named after E.F. Poeppig, 19th century German explorer. "Geogenanthus undatus" is an outdated synonym for "G. poeppigii". For more details on the rather complicated synonmy for this species, see Faden (1981).
