'''''Hyacinthoides non-scripta''''' {{IPAc-en|ˌ|h|aɪ|ə|s|ɪ|n|ˈ|θ|ɔɪ|d|iː|z|_|n|ɒ|n|ˈ|s|k|r|ɪ|p|t|ə}} (formerly ''Endymion non-scriptus'' or ''Scilla non-scripta'') is a [[bulb]]ous [[perennial plant]] found in Atlantic areas from the north-western part of the Iberian Peninsula to the British Isles, and also frequently used as a [[garden plant]]. It is known in English as the '''common bluebell''' or simply '''bluebell''', a name which is used in Scotland to refer to the harebell, ''[[Campanula rotundifolia]]''. In spring, ''H.&nbsp;non-scripta'' produces a nodding, one-sided inflorescence of 5–12 tubular, sweet-scented violet–blue flowers, with strongly recurved [[tepal]]s, and 3–6 long, linear, basal leaves.

''H.&nbsp;non-scripta'' is particularly associated with [[ancient woodland]] where it may dominate the understorey to produce carpets of violet–blue flowers in "[[bluebell wood]]s", but also occurs in more open habitats in western regions. It is protected under UK law, and in some other parts of its range. A related species, ''[[Hyacinthoides hispanica|H.&nbsp;hispanica]]'' has also been introduced to Britain and Ireland and [[hybrid (biology)|hybridises]] with ''H.&nbsp;non-scripta'' to produce intermediates known as [[Hyacinthoides × massartiana|''H.''&nbsp;×&nbsp;''massartiana'']].
