*Muscari P. Miller. Common name: Grape-hyacinth.
A genus of about 50 species, herbs, of Europe, Mediterranean areas, and w. Asia. Böhnert et al. (2023) studied the phylogeny of Muscari and several genera sometimes segregated from it and favored a broad circumscription of the genus, with five subgenera recognized. Our naturalized species fall into two of the five subgenera. as shown in the key.
