Scilla nonscripta, Hoff. & Link. (S. nutans, Smith. S. festalis, Salisb. S. cernua, Salisb. Hyacinthus nonscriptus, Linn.). Common Blue Squill. Harebell. Lvs. 10-18 in. long, 1/2 in. broad, subacute, concave: scape solitary, tall, stout: raceme 6-15-fld.: bracts in pairs: fls. blue, purple, white, or pink, drooping. April-June. W.Eu., Great Britain. B.M. 1461. Among the garden forms are alba, white; caerulea, blue; lilacina, lilac-blue; rosea, rose- or pink-colored; cernua, nodding.—This is one of the most beautiful of squills, fragrant, thriving best in somewhat shady and sheltered places. Originally placed in the genus Hyacinthus, on account of the general form of the perianth, it was removed to Scilla as having the segms. distinct or nearly so, and is now often considered as forming a distinct genus (Agraphis, Link; Endymion, Dumort.), either alone or with other species which connect it with the other scillas.
