Acis rosea, known as the rose snowflake,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Amaryllidaceae, native to Corsica and Sardinia.
[1] Unlike most members of the genus Acis, it has pink rather than white flowers.
Acis rosea is a small bulbous perennial, growing up to 12 cm tall.
[2][3] Acis was reinstated in 2004, after it was determined on morphological and molecular grounds that the broadly defined genus Leucojum was paraphyletic.
[4] Acis rosea is native to the two western Mediterranean islands of Corsica and Sardinia.
