Galanthus woronowii cultivation, it has frequently been confused with two other species, "Galanthus platyphyllus" (usually under its synonym "G. latifolius") and "Galanthus ikariae". All three species have broad green leaves arranged in a supervolute pattern (i.e. wrapped round one another at the base), and inner tepals with a green mark only at the apex. The inner tepals of "G. platyphyllus" lack a sinus at the apex, i.e. they do not have a notched edge. "G. ikariae" and "G. woronowii" are similar, although molecular studies have shown that they are distinct species. Some differences are: Galanthus woronowii Galanthus woronowii, the green snowdrop or
Chlamydomonas nivalis food source. Infections of "C. nivalis" cells by chytrids, "Chytridium chlamydococci", filamentous fungi, and "Selenotila nivalis" have also been observed. As winter approaches, the cells will approach the last stage of their life cycle. The orange cells mature into red cysts, the form in which it will remain for the remainder and longest portion of its life cycle. Cells at this stage are most resistant to harsh environmental conditions. Inorganic and organic materials such as bacteria, fungi, and dust particles coat the mucilage layer of the cell wall. The inorganic impurities were found to be rich in silicon, iron, and
