Galanthus woronowii the inner three, usually about long compared to . Since the flower hangs downwards, the apex of the tepals is at the lowest point. The apex of the inner tepals has a "sinus" (i.e. it has a notch in the middle). There is a green mark around the sinus, either U-shaped or split into two parts on either side. The seed capsule is green, more or less spherical with brown seeds about long. "Galanthus woronowii" was first described in 1935 by the Russian botanist Agnia Losina-Losinskaja.

The outer three are larger and more convex than the inner ones.

The inner surface has a faint green mark covering
