This list of Scilla species shows the accepted species names within the genus Scilla, which are predominantly spring perennial plants in the order of Asparagales, and the Asparagaceae (amaryllis) family. The common name is squill, but this has also been applied to a number of taxa not included in Scilla.[2]

The number of species varies from 30 to about 80, depending on how narrowly or widely the genus is defined. In the narrow circumscription (e.g Speta 1998) a number of species are segregated into eight separate smaller genera.[3][4] Species of Chionodoxa are often included with Scilla and some classifications list those as a separate section of the genus Scilla (section Chionodoxa) (sec, all other species being included in section Scilla.[5]

Formerly included

[edit]

The common bluebell of British and European bluebell woods, still occasionally referred to by a former name, Scilla non-scripta, is now known as Hyacinthoides non-scripta. Several African species previously classified in Scilla have been removed to the genus Ledebouria. The best known of these is the common houseplant still sometimes known as Scilla violacea but now properly Ledebouria socialis.[citation needed]
