In 1753, Carl Linnaeus used the name Hyacinthus muscari for the plant now called Muscari racemosum.

Which one should retain the name Muscari would normally be decided by where the type species was placed ; however Miller did not designate a type species, although the etymology of the genus name points to the species Linnaeus called Hyacinthus muscari ( now Muscari racemosum ).

M. racemosum resembles M. macrocarpum ( with which it has been placed in the Muscarimia group of the genus Muscari ).

Muscari is a genus of perennial bulbous plants native to Eurasia that produce spikes of dense, most commonly blue, urn-shaped flowers resembling bunches of grapes in the spring.

The genus Muscari is now more or less equivalent to the Botryanthus group.

A complication in splitting up the broad genus is that Miller's original Muscari included representatives of at least three of the new genera.

This is the species from which the genus gets its name ( Muscari is from the Greek muschos, meaning musk ).

A number of species of Muscari are used as ornamental garden plants.

Following Filippo Parlatore in 1845, the name Leopoldia was used for a genus of grape hyacinth species, allied to Muscari.

Brian Mathew says that many species of Grape Hyacinths, including not only Muscari but also the related Leopoldia and Pseudomuscari, are difficult to distinguish.

Hyacinths should also not be confused with the genus Muscari, which are commonly known as grape hyacinths.

A bulb of Muscari has reproduced vegetatively underground to make two bulbs, each of which produces a flower stem.

In Greece the bulbs of Muscari comosum are consumed as pickles.

The genus Muscari originated in the Old World, including the Mediterranean basin, central and southern Europe, northern Africa, western, central and south-western Asia.

In 1754, Philip Miller formally established the genus Muscari according to modern rules of nomenclature.

The Muscarimia group are retained in Muscari by the Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families.

It may be found in the horticultural literature under the synonym Muscari muscarimi.

Thus the name M. racemosum is commonly found as an incorrect synonym for M. neglectum, with M. muscarimi or M. moschatum being used for the true M. racemosum.

Two species have been placed in this group: M. macrocarpum and M. racemosum ( under the name M. muscarimi ).
