The wild hyacinth or woodland hyacinth (Hyacinthoides non-scripta, often Scilla non-scripta in older literature) is a plant in the asparagus family (Asparagaceae).
The plant received its scientific name in 1753 from Carl Linnaeus, who placed it in the genus Hyacinthus as Hyacinthus non-scriptus in his publication Species plantarum. Linnaeus referred for earlier published descriptions and for synonyms to his own Hortus Cliffortianus (1738), to Florae leydensis prodromus (1740) by Adriaan van Royen, and to Gaspard Bauhin's Pinax theatri botanici (1623). The references have in common that they refer to "Hyacinthus non-scriptus" in Stirpium historiae pemptades sex (1583) by Rembert Dodoens. Bauhin additionally mentions Joachim Camerarius junior and the much older Dioscorides as references for the species designation "non-scriptus".
