Muscari (Asparagaceae [formerly part of Liliaceae]) not in The Student's Flora  
Muscari armeniacum (grape hyacinth) is a spring bulb grown in many gardens throughout Tasmania. It is moderately widely naturalised on or near the sites of old gardens. It is a small plant with channelled leaves often about 10-15 cm long. The inflorescence is distinctive. It is spike-like (although the flowers are each stalked) and made of short barrel-shaped blue flowers with narrow, white openings.
