The stem is leafless. It has 3-6 basal lance-shaped leaves, wide and long. The inflorescence is a dense, conical or pyramid-like raceme with 5-30 bright violet-blue star-like flowers. The flowers have two narrow bracts. Flowering period extends from February to May.〔(Acta Plantarum ) 〕〔(Den virtuella floran ) 〕〔 PIGNATTI S., 1982. Flora d'Italia, Edagricole, Bologna〕 It is in some respects intermediate between the common and Spanish species in having slender leaves (as in ''H. non-scripta'' or even slenderer), but a dense raceme of flowers (as in ''H. hispanica''; not sparse and one-sided as in ''H. non-scripta''). The ''Italian bluebell'' is sometimes used as an ornamental plant. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://apps.rhs.org.uk/plantselector/plant?plantid=6023 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hyacinthoides italica」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
