Anyone got a pic of Galanthus schahoricus?

Anthony! I've got an image of G. schaoricus from Flora of Georgia copied by A. Kolakovsky in his monograph on Colkhida Flora by 1961. And Flora of Georgia  - Genus Galanthus chapter was written by L. Kemularia-Nathadze - she described this taxon in 1947. ENJOY!

Actually, G. schaoricus = G. alpinus alpinus by Artjushenko and Davis, but Georgian botanists still treat them as a separate endemic taxon for Georgia  ;D

Fascinating stuff. I can trace my bulb back to a collection made by JR.

G. schaoricus differs a bit from alpinus by wider and cuculate leaves........ Anthony, please find here also a photo of a bad quality, sorry, from front-cover of recent Georgian vascular plant list book.
I have this really unique taxon from Janis too and indeed it's a gem variety of alpinus with wide leaves :))

Thanks for all the info Dimitri. I have labels in my garden where I hope I have a. alpinus and a. bortkewichianus, but so far not a sign of a shoot.
