Botaaniline kirjeldus
Armeenia kobarhüatsint on mitmeaastane sibultaim aspariliste sugukonnast, perekonnast kobarhüatsint. Taim kasvab kuni 15 cm pikkuseks. Lehed on juurmised, lineaalsed, kaarroodsed. Õisik on lehistumata õisikuvarre tippu moodustunud kobar. Õisi kobaras kuni 50. Õied on lihtsa õiekattega, kolmetised, kroon on liitlehine, kellukjas, sinine (esineb ka valgeid vorme). Vili on kolmeosalinekupar. [1]

Levila
Kobarhüatsindi ooduslikuks elupaigaks on ka Vahemere maad ja Edela-Aasia. Hüatsint eelistab kasvada täielikus päikeses või kerges varjus. [4]

Toime ja kasutamine
Kobarhüatsindi kasutatakse peamiselt ilutaimena. Perekonda kuuluvaid taimi kasutatakse kiviktaimlade või peenraäärte kaunistamiseks. Nad lisavad kevadistesse aedadesse "jahedaid" siniseid värve. [3].
