This is the "English bluebell" of western Europe, formerly treated in the genus Endymion. There are colls. from ESTI (EKY) and perhaps HICK (check MUR), apparently from naturalized plants but associated with old home sites and plantings. Generic placement of this species (2n = 16, 24) has been controversial; Scilla (sensu lato) is a large complex genus with several polyploid series.
