The plant received its scientific name from Carl Linnaeus, who placed it in the genus Hyacinthus as Hyacinthus non-scriptus.[1] Linnaeus referred for previously published descriptions and for synonyms to his own Hortus Cliffortianus (1738),[2] to Florae leydensis prodromus (1740) by Adriaan van Royen,[3] and to Gaspard Bauhin's Pinax theatri botanici (1623).[4] 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".
