Hyacinthoides
''Hyacinthoides'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asparagaceae, known as bluebells. Systematics ''Hyacinthoides'' is classified in the subfamily Scilloideae (now part of the family Asparagaceae, but formerly treated as a separate family, called Hyacinthaceae), alongside genera such as ''Scilla'' and ''Ornithogalum''. ''Hyacinthoides'' is differentiated from these other genera by the presence of two bracts at the base of each flower, rather than one bract per flower or no bracts in the other genera. Species According to the ''World Checklist of Selected Plant Families'' , the genus contains 11 species and one interspecific hybrid. The majority of species are distributed around the Mediterranean Basin, with only one species, ''Hyacinthoides non-scripta'' (the familiar spring flower of bluebell woods in the British Isles and elsewhere) occurring further north in Northwestern Europe, north-western Europe. ''Hyacinthoides'' species belong, according to analysis using mol ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hyacinthoides Non-scripta
''Hyacinthoides non-scripta'' (formerly ''Endymion non-scriptus'' or ''Scilla non-scripta'') is a bulbous perennial plant found in Atlantic areas from the north-western part of the Iberian Peninsula to the British Isles, and also frequently used as a garden plant. It is known in English as the common bluebell or simply bluebell, a name which is used in Scotland to refer to the harebell, ''Campanula rotundifolia''. In spring, ''H. non-scripta'' produces a nodding, one-sided inflorescence of 5–12 tubular, sweet-scented violet–blue flowers, with strongly recurved tepals, and 3–6 long, linear, basal leaves. ''H. non-scripta'' is particularly associated with ancient woodland where it may dominate the understorey to produce carpets of violet–blue flowers in "bluebell woods", but also occurs in more open habitats in western regions. It is protected under UK law, and in some other parts of its range. A related species, ''Hyacinthoides hispanica, H. hispanica'' has ...

Hyacinthoides Italica
''Hyacinthoides italica'', the Italian bluebell or Italian squill, is a spring-flowering bulbous perennial plant, perennial plant belonging to the family Asparagaceae. It is one of around 11 species in the genus ''Hyacinthoides'', others including the common bluebell (''Hyacinthoides non-scripta'') in northwestern Europe, and the Spanish bluebell (''Hyacinthoides hispanica'') further west in the Iberian Peninsula. Description ''Hyacinthoides italica'' is up to tall. The stem is leafless. It has 3-6 basal lance-shaped leaves, wide and long. The inflorescence is a dense, conical or pyramid-like raceme with 5-30 bright violet-blue star-like flowers. The flowers have two narrow bracts. Flowering period extends from February to May. It is in some respects intermediate between the common and Spanish species in having slender leaves (as in ''H. non-scripta'' or even slenderer), but a dense raceme of flowers (as in ''H. hispanica''; not sparse and one-sided as in ''H. ...

Hyacinthoides Paivae
''Hyacinthoides paivae'' is a species of bluebell in the genus ''Hyacinthoides'' native to the north-western part of the Iberian Peninsula. It lives chiefly in shady woodlands, and grows up to tall, producing a cluster of up to 18 pale blue flowers in spring. It was formally described in 1996, having previously been identified as belonging to the related species '' H. italica''. Description ''Hyacinthoides paivae'' is a perennial plant which grows from bulbs that are typically × . Each bulb produces 4–7 (more rarely 2–12) basal leaves, each long and wide. The stems are long, and bear an inflorescence comprising 6–18 flowers in a multilateral raceme. Each flower is attached by a pedicel long, and is itself long by wide. ''H. paivae'' can be told apart from ''H. italica'' by its broader leaves and larger flowers; ''H. hispanica'' differs in having longer, narrower, unscented and bell-shaped flowers.

Hyacinthoides Hispanica
''Hyacinthoides hispanica'' ( syn. ''Endymion hispanicus'' or ''Scilla hispanica''), the Spanish bluebell or wood hyacinth, is a spring-flowering bulbous perennial native to the Iberian Peninsula. It is one of around a dozen species in the genus ''Hyacinthoides'', others including the common bluebell (''Hyacinthoides non-scripta'') in northwestern Europe, and the Italian bluebell (''Hyacinthoides italica'') further east in the Mediterranean region. Description It is distinguished from the common bluebell by its paler and larger blue flowers, which are less pendulous and not all drooping to one side like the common bluebell; plus a more erect flower stem (raceme), broader leaves, blue anthers (where the common bluebell has creamy-white ones) and little or no scent compared to the strong fragrant scent of the northern species. Like ''Hyacinthoides non-scripta'', both pink- and white-flowered forms occur. Distribution ''Hyacinthoides hispanica'' is native to the western part of th ...

Hyacinthoides × Massartiana
''Hyacinthoides'' × ''massartiana'' is a hybrid species produced by crosses between the common bluebell, '' H. non-scripta'' and the Spanish bluebell, '' H. hispanica''. ''H.'' × ''massartiana'' fills a spectrum of variation which connects the two parental species. Distribution ''Hyacinthoides'' × ''massartiana'' has become widespread across Britain and Belgium, both of which have large populations of ''H. non-scripta''. It is often found on the edges of woodland and roadsides, particularly in urban areas, suggesting that it has spread from gardens planted with ''H. hispanica''. There is great concern over the effect that the hybrid may have on native ''H. non-scripta'' populations, diluting the characteristics of the native species and out-competing it due to ''H. hispanica'''s robust fertility and the effects of climate change. Taxonomic history Hybrids between ''H. non-scripta'' and ''H. hispanica'' were first given a specific name in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hyacinthoides Mauritanica
''Hyacinthoides mauritanica'' (common name: Mauritius bluebell) is a flowering plant endemic to Morocco and Portugal. It is a bulbous geophyte that grows primarily in temperate regions. Description ''Hyacinthoides mauritanica'' is a species of dwarf bluebell, growing up to in height. It is a bulbous perennial In horticulture, the term perennial ('' per-'' + '' -ennial'', "through the year") is used to differentiate a plant from shorter-lived annuals and biennials. It has thus been defined as a plant that lives more than 2 years. The term is also ..., with long, narrow leaves and bell or star-shaped blue, violet or white flowers in spring. Distribution and habitat It grows in open land, close to sea-level, in damp and often sandy soil. When ''Hyacinthoides'' (or "''Scilla''") were found in Morocco in the past they were frequently mis-identified as ''mauritanica''. However these are two distinct species, although they may still both be encountered under either name ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hyacinthoides Cedretorum
''Hyacinthoides cedretorum'' is a species of bluebell that grows in North Africa. Description ''Hyacinthoides cedretorum'' differs from other species of ''Hyacinthoides'' in the strongly revolute (curved backwards) form of the tepals, with the stamens being attached to the tepals only at their bases; in other species, the stamens are fused to the tepals along much of their length, and the tepals form a bell-like shape. The anthers and pollen are typically violet-blue, but populations from the High Atlas mountains have creamy-yellow pollen. Distribution and ecology ''Hyacinthoides cedretorum'' is found in mountainous areas of Morocco and Algeria, from the Rif Mountains to the mountains of Jijel Province, including the High Atlas and Anti-Atlas mountains. It grows at altitudes of , generally under ''Cedrus'' (cedar) or '' Abies'' (fir) trees. In the High Atlas, it grows on exposed cliff ledges. Taxonomy and karyology The first description of ''H. cedretorum'' as a separ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
