APG-Fam.: Asparagacae / Asparagus Fam.       Fam. tradit.: Liliaceae / Lily Fam.  

Synon.:  Pseudomuscari inconstrictum  (RECH.F.) GARBARI

Genus:  Muscari  MILL.,  Pseudomuscari  GARBARI & GREUTER
 

Authors:
   RECH.F.:  Karl Heinz Rechinger (filius, 1906 - 1998), Austrian botanist, son of Karl Rechinger
   GARBARI:  Fabio Garbari (1937 - ), Italian botanist

Etymology:
   Muscari:   Arabic plant name, from 'smelling of musk'
   inconstrictum:   blossom not constricted at the front
   Pseudomuscari:   pseudos = false, genus Muscari
 

Muscari inconstrictum occurs from Cyprus to Iraq and Iran. The populations in the mainland of Ancient Near East belong to a group of Muscari with open campanulate blossoms at the front, which has been separated from the big genus Muscari as genus Pseudomuscari by GARBARI and GREUTER. However especially this attribute is not pronounced at the populations on the island of Cyprus, so I wouldn't be surprised if these would be decribed as an own species under genus Muscari in future.
