Scilla peruviana
''Scilla peruviana'', the Portuguese squill, is a species of ''Scilla'' native to the western Mediterranean region in Iberia, Italy, and northwest Africa.
Although the epithet ''peruviana'' means "from Peru", it is strictly a western Mediterranean species. Linnaeus named the species in 1753, noting an earlier name given to the plant by Carolus Clusius, ''Hyacinthus stellatus peruanus''. It is said that Clusius misunderstood a statement that the bulbs came from a ship called "Peru" and thought that they came from the country.
It is a bulb-bearing herbaceous perennial plant. The bulb is 6–8 cm diameter, white with a covering of brown scales. The leaves are linear, 20–60 cm long and 1–4 cm broad, with 5-15 leaves produced each spring. The flowering stem is 15–40 cm tall, bearing a dense pyramidal raceme of 40-100 flowers; each flower is blue, 1–2 cm diameter, with six tepals.
==Cultivation and uses==
It is commonly grown as an ornamental plant for its spring flowers; several cultivars are available ranging in colour from white to light or dark blue, or violet. In some areas it is also known as hyacinth-of-Peru,〔 Cuban-lily,〔 or Peruvian scilla.
