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
Luzula nivalis wide range of mainly moist habitats and , including wet meadows, snow patches, seepages, along the margins of ponds, marshes, streams (and other water bodies) as well as tundra, slopes and ridges. Occasionally "L. nivalis" has been found on dry sites including gravel, sand, silt, clay, till. Luzula nivalis Luzula nivalis, commonly known as arctic wood-rush or less commonly as snowy wood-rush (both names are used with or without hyphenation), is a species of perennial rushes endemic to Canada, Greenland, Alaska, and Northern Europe in Scandinavia. It was described by Polunin (1940) as one of the most abundant, ubiquitous, and
