Cyclamen balearicum

Cyclamen balearicum (Majorca or Balearic cyclamen, St. Peter's violet, sowbread) is a perennial growing from a tuber, native to shady areas in woodland of short evergreen trees and shrubs (holm oak, Kermes oak, box) up to 1,443 m (4,734 ft) above sea level in the Balearic Islands and in isolated locations in France from the Pyrenees to the Rhone valley.

Flowers bloom in spring, are fragrant, and have 5 upswept white petals.

Leaves are arrowhead-shaped and blue-green mottled with silver, with less sharply defined variegation than other cyclamens.
