Leaf Air Spaces
G. woronowiiG. ikariae subsp. ikariae(Davis & Barnett, 1996)
• G. woronowii, G. ikariae and G. platyphyllus all show supervolute vernation, broad green leaves and a single apical inner perianth marking• Clear differences evident in Leaf Air Spaces, although limited data set available• The Air Spaces of G. ikariae are “big enough that a dressmakers pin may be pushed inside without rupturing the delicate tissue of the leaf” (Bishop et al., 2001)
![Page 16: An Interactive Key to the Genus Galanthus L.. Genus containing 19 species, 22 principle taxa Numerous Additional Hybrids and Cultivars Listed under Appendix](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061504/56649d0a5503460f949dc1ec/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Leaf Air Space data is not available for all species• All entities besides G. ikariae, G. krasnovii, G. platyphyllus and G. woronowii scored as “Not Scoped” for the Leaf Air Space feature• Feature remains hidden until only these species remain and the application of this characteristic is required• Notes included in species description to aid determination
