The genus Soldanella, commonly known in English as snowbell, includes about 15 species of flowering plants native to European mountains, from the Pyrenees, the Apennines, the Alps, the Carpathians and the Balkans. They grow in woods, damp pastures and rocky landscapes from 500-3,000 m above sea level, often in hollows which hold snow into late spring and early summer. The name Soldanella means "little coins" in Italian.[1]
- ^ The botanical name Soldanella dates from the 16th century and comes from Italian soldo which was a type of coin (from medieval Latin soldanus, a certain type of coin). Soldanella is a diminutive of soldo; it means little coins. Book: The Names of Plants by David Gledhill, year 2008, page 355.
