Hyacinthoides non-scripta / ˌ h aɪ ə s ɪ n ˈ θ ɔɪ d iː z n ɒ n ˈ s k r ɪ p t ə / (formerly Endymion non-scriptus or Scilla non-scripta) is a bulbous perennial plant found in Atlantic areas from the north-western part of the Iberian Peninsula to the British Isles, and also frequently used as a garden plant.
According to the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families as of July 2012, the genus contains 11 species and one interspecific hybrid. [4] The majority of species are distributed around the Mediterranean Basin, with only one species, Hyacinthoides non-scripta (the familiar spring flower of bluebell woods in the British Isles and elsewhere) occurring further north in north-western Europe.

British NVC community MC12 (Festuca rubra – Hyacinthoides non-scripta maritime bluebell community) is one of the maritime cliff communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system. It is one of five communities categorised as maritime sea-cliff grasslands. This community is found locally in western coastal areas of Britain.
The common bluebell, Hyacinthoides non-scripta, is native to western parts of Europe, but particularly the British Isles, [17] where it carpets the floor of some woods. The woodlands of Asia, including China and Japan, are home to bulbous plants such as arisaemas and the giant cardiocrinums. [16]
A bluebell wood is a woodland that in springtime has a carpet of flowering bluebells (Hyacinthoides non-scripta) underneath a newly forming leaf canopy. The thicker the summer canopy, the more the competitive ground-cover is suppressed, encouraging a dense carpet of bluebells, whose leaves mature and die down by early summer.
Hyacinthoides × massartiana has become widespread across Britain and Belgium, [2] both of which have large populations of H. non-scripta.It is often found on the edges of woodland and roadsides, particularly in urban areas, suggesting that it has spread from gardens planted with H. hispanica. [3]
Initially at Grateful Life, Hamm wasn’t allowed to bring in non-spiritual materials like novels or newspapers — a restriction inherited from the older “therapeutic community” models — or to wear street clothes. He attended classes in light blue surgical scrubs, a public humbling that all newbies were subjected to.
It is one of around a dozen species in the genus Hyacinthoides, others including the common bluebell (Hyacinthoides non-scripta) in northwestern Europe, and the Italian bluebell (Hyacinthoides italica) further east in the Mediterranean region. [2]
