Page "Scilla" Paragraph 3

The precise number of Scilla species in the genus depends on which proposals to split the genus are accepted.

For a discussion of the relationship of Scilla to the closely related genus, Chionodoxa, see that page.

Other proposals separate particularly the Eurasian species into a number of smaller genera such as Othocallis Salisb., e. g. Scilla siberica would become Othocallis siberica.
