made by a french rose allevator, Bizot, in 1868. So it hasn't a latin name.

Bucaneve
French-Perce Neige
Latin-Galanthus Nivalis
This plant grows in the snow during the winter. It can reach 15 to 20 cm and it has 6 white petals. The particular thing about this plant is that it's evergreen : the leaves never turn brown and it's alive for a long period because it's very resistant.
Starting from the root there's a bulb and the stem is robust. And on top there's the white flower that is inclined.
Seeing this plant could bring bad luck to someone who saw it.
