Brain is dead today and cannot remember...

Whats the botanical name for the common British bluebell? And anyone
does the spanish bluebell have a different name?

Hyacinthoides hispanica is the Spanish bluebell. This slightly surprised me
when I checked my own memory with the RHS encyclopedia because they're also
grouped under Scillas, which is what I usually think of. And to confuse me
further, they belong to the lily family. ;-)
