Galanthus have now been lost, and others not seen by the authors). They differ particularly in the size, shape, and markings of the flower, the period of flowering, and other characteristics, mainly of interest to the keen (even fanatical) snowdrop collectors, known as "galanthophiles", who hold meetings where the scarcer cultivars change hands. Double-flowered cultivars and forms, such as the extremely common "Galanthus nivalis" f. "pleniflorus" 'Flore Pleno', may be less attractive to some people, but they can have greater visual impact in a garden setting. Many hybrids have also occurred in cultivation. In the UK these species: and these cultivars:
Chlamydomonas nivalis temperatures rise above 30 °C. It is a true snow alga because it performs better in low temperatures than warm temperatures. Due to "C. nivalis"’ ability to perform photosynthesis well from cold to moderate temperatures, this species is considered a cryotolerant mesophile rather than a cryophile. This organism is also very resilient as they can also survive in warm soil for weeks. They can also tolerate dryness and room temperature for as long as 6 months. Fungi, worms, bacteria, and viruses have been found to associate with or live in the same environment as "C. nivalis". Encapsulated rod-shaped gram-negative bacteria
