Muscari dionysicum is a species of grape hyacinth ( Muscari ) in the asparagus family (Asparagaceae).

features

Muscari dionysicum is a perennial herbaceous plant that reaches heights of 25 to 40 (rarely 15 to 60) centimeters. This geophyte forms onions as persistent organs. The leaves are 10 to 25 (rarely 6 to 50) millimeters wide. The flower stalks are 10 to 25 (rarely 7 to 27) millimeters long. There are over 50 fertile flowers . These are 7 to 10 (rarely up to 12) millimeters in size. Your teeth are cream-colored.

The flowering time is in May.

There are populations with diploid (2n = 18) and tetraploid (2n = 36) chromosome sets; the latter predominate.

Occurrence

Muscari dionysicum comes on Crete barrier island Dia and Dionysades and on Anafi and several small islands in the southeastern Cyclades ago. There is also a find from a small island off Skyros . This species is a small island specialist that can occasionally occur on larger islands on rocky coasts up to 430 m above sea level.

Systematics

Muscari dionysicum was first described by Karl Heinz Rechinger in 1943 . A synonym of Muscari dionysicum Rech.f. is Leopoldia dionysica ( Rech.f. ) Greuter . In the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families will Muscari dionysicum in the synonymy of Muscari weissii (Syn .: Leopoldia weissii provided) in Vascular Plants of Greece: An Annotated Checklist is Muscari dionysicum accepted.

Often referred to as " Muscari dionysicum " is a huge variety from the relationship of the crested grape hyacinth , Muscari comosum 'Epirus Giant', which comes from the Grammos Mountains in northern Greece. The chromosome number of 2n = 18 mentioned in Tropicos relates to this clan.
