"""Muscari"" originated in the Old World, including the Mediterranean basin, central and southern Europe, northern Africa, western, central and south-western Asia. It has become naturalized elsewhere, including northern Europe and the United States. Brian Mathew says that many species of grape hyacinths, including not only ""Muscari"" but also the related ""Leopoldia"" and ""Pseudomuscari"", are difficult to distinguish. They usually have one or more narrow leaves which arise from a bulb. The flowers appear in the spring and form a spike or raceme, being held in a close or loose spiral around a central stalk. The flowers often become less tightly"
"Pseudomuscari Pseudomuscari is a genus of bulbous perennials in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Scilloideae. They were formerly included in the genus ""Muscari"" (as the Pseudomuscari group, section or subgenus). Species of ""Pseudomuscari"" have flowers in shades of pale or bright blue, and are small plants with dense flower spikes or racemes. A feature which distinguishes them from ""Muscari"" is the bell-shaped flower which is not constricted at the mouth. One species, ""P. azureum"", is popularly grown in gardens as an ornamental Spring-flowering plant. The genus was formerly included in ""Muscari"".
