Μουσκάρι το εύκομο
Etymology of Muscari comosum: The name of the genus, Muscari, comes from the Greek word "μόσχος" [moskhos] for "musk", referring to the scent produced by the flowers of many species in the genus. The specific epithet "comosum" derives from the Ancient Greek word ''κόμη" [kome] + Latin neutral -osus, meaning "a tuft of hairs".
At least five Muscari species/kinds have been found so far in Cypriot nature and it is being examined whether there is a fifth one.
Synonyms: Muscari comosum is also known as Leopoldia comosa.
Muscari comosum is a common plant of Cypriot nature, as it appears in all the regions of Cyprus, at an amazing altitude of up to 1950 metres, meaning it may appear from the sea level up to the maximum of mount Olympus, in the Troodos region. It blooms from March until May, and sometimes it can be seen flowering in the Summer.
