Hyacinthoides cedretorum differs from other species of Hyacinthoides in the strongly revolute (curved backwards) form of the tepals, with the stamens being attached to the tepals only at their bases; in other species, the stamens are fused to the tepals along much of their length, and the tepals form a bell-like shape.[1] The anthers and pollen are typically violet-blue, but populations from the High Atlas mountains have creamy-yellow pollen.[1]
