Muscari subg. Pseudomuscari

Muscari subg. Pseudomuscari is a subgenus of bulbous perennials in the family Asparagaceae subfamily Scilloideae that has been treated as the separate genus Pseudomuscari. Muscari species placed in the subfamily 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 other groups of Muscari is the bell-shaped flower which is not constricted at the mouth. One species, Muscari azureum (syn. Pseudomuscari azureum), is popularly grown in gardens as an ornamental Spring-flowering plant.
