Brimeura is a genus of bulb-forming, monocotyledonous perennial plants. They have narrow leaves and bear bluebell-like flowers in Spring.[2][4] Brimeura is treated in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Scilloideae, tribe Hyacintheae, subtribe Hyacinthinae.[5][6] It contains the following species[2][3]
- Brimeura amethystina (L.) Chouard - Pyrenees
- Brimeura duvigneaudii (L.Llorens) Rosselló, Mus & Mayol - Mallorca
- Brimeura fastigiata (Viv.) Chouard - Mallorca, Menorca, Corsica, Sardinia
Salisbury states that he named the genus in honour of the seventeenth century Netherlandish botanist and horticulturalist, Marie de Brimeu.[1][2]
The genus is native to southeastern Europe and certain islands of the western Mediterranean.[3] The species B. amethystina (formerly Hyacinthus amethystina) has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[7]
