About Galanthus woronowii Losinsk.
Galanthus woronowii grows from a bulb. Its leaves have a supervolute arrangement: one leaf is tightly clasped around the other inside the bud, and this arrangement usually remains at the base of the plant as it grows. Leaves are typically 13–25 cm (5–10 in) long, and may reach up to 41 cm (16 in). They are generally around 13–21 mm (0.5–0.8 in) wide, but can be narrower or wider. Leaves narrow at the base, and their widest section falls in the upper third of the leaf. Foliage ranges from light to medium green, and the lower leaf surface is somewhat shinier than the upper surface. The leaf midrib is prominent, and two to four visible fold marks typically run along the length of the leaf. Flowers are usually solitary, borne on a leafless green scape (stem) that is 4–19 cm (1.6–7.5 in) long. The flower's pedicel (stalk) measures 15–26 mm (0.6–1.0 in) long. The three outer tepals are noticeably longer than the three inner tepals: outer tepals are usually 16–24 mm (0.6–0.9 in) long, while inner tepals are 7–12 mm (0.3–0.5 in) long. Because the flower hangs downward, the apex of the tepals is at the lowest point of the flower. The apex of each inner tepal has a sinus, a notch in the center. A green marking surrounds this sinus, which is either U-shaped or split into two separate parts on either side of the notch. The seed capsule is green and roughly spherical, and holds brown seeds about 5 mm (0.2 in) long. In cultivation, Galanthus woronowii has been awarded the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
