Hyacinthus
is a small genus of bulbous flowering plants in the family
Asparagaceae, subfamily Scilloideae. Plants are commonly called
hyacinths. The genus is native to the eastern Mediterranean (from south
Turkey through Lebanon and Syria to northern Palestine), Iraq,
north-east Iran, and Turkmenistan. Several species of Brodiea, Scilla,
and other plants that were formerly classified in the lily family and
have flower clusters borne along the stalk also have common names with
hyacinth in them. Hyacinths should also not be confused with the genus
Muscari, which are commonly known as grape hyacinths
