Bunch-shaped viper onion ( MuscariMuscari neglectum) – вид квіткових родини Холодкових (Asparagaceae family.).
Perennial herb 10–30 cm tall. The leaves are arcuately curved, narrowly linear, narrowly grooved on top. Inflorescence is brush-like, oblong-ovoid, rather dense, multi-flowered. Sterile flowers are almost sessile, oval-tubular, blue. Fertile flowers on short peduncles, oblong-elliptic, slightly narrowed to the base, somewhat grooved, dark blue. The fruit is a box with rounded ribs, narrowed to the bottom, slightly heart-shaped on top. The seeds are wrinkled, black. The plant is characterized by its development - first an arrow with buds grows, then leaves appear, which do not exceed the peduncle.
In Ukraine, it grows in the steppes, on grassy slopes, in bushes.
