| Three narrow outer petals (really tepals) splay outwards whilst three much shorter inner tepals huddle together in the middle. The inner tepals have a notch in the centre with a light-green chevron straddling the notch. There are longer light-green stripes on the inner surface of the inner tepals. Text goes here |

Easily confused with : other Snowdrops. Both the The common name Caucasian Snowdrop and the latinesque name Galanthus caucasicus are ambiguous, as the name applies to two Snowdrops, one Alpine Snowdrop (Galanthus alpinus) which is found in the Caucasus and Transcaucasus, the other Galanthus elwesii var. monostictus. The latter is more likely to be found in the UK for it is more readily available from growers and garden centres. The plant depicted here is that of Galanthus alpinus. ANY TEXT GOES HERE |
