G. panjutinii is that the new species recently discovered?. I read somewhere that one of it's five sites was destroyed during the construction of the winter Olympics stadium at sochi.

I wrote about this on my blog, and the information came from here: http://www.kew.org/plants-fungi/Galanthus-panjutinii.htm.  It says:

"Galanthus panjutinii is considered to be Endangered according to IUCN Red List criteria. It is known from only five locations, and its area of occupancy (AOO) is estimated to be 20 km2.

The ongoing construction of facilities for the 2014 Winter Olympics, which will be held in Sochi, has destroyed a large part of one location, and hence is a threat to the species."

Matt & Dimitri

Do species bulbs have to reach a certain age before a species determination by the bulb shape can be made with some accuracy?
