Scilla italica, Linn. Italian Squill. Bulbs ovate, clustered together: lvs. radical, several, flaccid, spreading, lanceolate, acute, 4-8 in. long, 1/4-1/2 in. broad: scape solitary, slender, longer than the lvs.: raceme dense, many-fld.: pedicels filiform, spreading; bracts in pairs: fls. fragrant, smelling like lilac, pale blue; perianth rotate, blue; segms. puberulous at apex; filaments white; anthers sagittate, dark blue. March-May. B.M. 663. L.B.C. 15:1483.—Hardy. This plant has less brilliant fls. than either S. sibirica or S. bifolia, but abundantly compensates for the paleness of its blue by the fullness and the sweetness of its fragrance. It is also taller than either of the others. CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
