Description
Genus Allium
Herbs, perennial
, scapose
, from tunicate
bulbs, with onion odor and taste. Bulbs solitary or clustered, dividing at base
, or on rhizomes, reforming annually; outer coats
generally brown or gray, smooth
, fibrous
, or with cellular
reticulation (generally important in identification) ; inner coats membranous. Leaves generally withering from tip
by anthesis
, usually persistent
, 1-12, basal; blade
usually linear
, terete
, channeled
, or flat (carinate
in A. sativum, A. praecox, A. tuberosum, A. rotundum, A. neapolitanum, A. triquetrum, A. unifolium, and A. lacunosum), straight or ± falcate
(coiled
or circinate
in A. nevadense and A. atrorubens), broader in A. victorialis and A. tricoccum, not petiolate
(except in A. tricoccum and A. victorialis) . Scape usually persistent, terete or flattened. Inflorescences umbellate
, flowering centripetally (centrifugally in A. schoenoprasum), sometimes replaced totally or partially by bulbils, subtended by spathe
bracts; bracts conspicuous
, ± fused, usually 3+-veined, equaling pedicel except in some introduced species
, membranous. Flowers erect
(pendent in A. triquetrum) ; tepals 6, in 2 similar whorls, ± distinct
, petallike, usually becoming becoming dry and persisting; stamens 6, epipetalous
; filaments
in all but 1 native species
broad at base, fused into ring
(some introduced species and A. victorialis appendaged), linear, generally glabrous
(A. rotundum and A. hoffmanii papillose
to ciliate
proximally) ; anthers
and pollen variously colored
; ovary superior, 3-lobed, sometimes crested
with processes, 3-locular, usually 2 ovules per locule (6-8 in A. nigrum), crest
processes 3 or 6, smooth except in A. haematochiton, A. sharsmithiae, and A. lacunosum; style 1; stigma capitate to ± 3-lobed; pedicel erect or spreading
(lax
in A. triquetrum) . Fruits capsular
, dehiscence loculicidal. Seeds black, obovoid
, finely cellular-reticulate, cells
smooth or minutely roughened, with 1-8 papillae, without caruncle except in A. triquetrum. x
= 7, 8, 9.
Species 550-700: mostly Northern Hemisphere.
As with many other genera in the Liliaceae sensu
lato, Allium has been segregated into a separate family
, Alliaceae
, by most recent authors
(R. Dahlgren et al.
1985; K
. Rahn 1998; A. L. Takhtajan 1997; R. F. Thorne 1992) .Old World species of Allium are generally placed in subgenera
and sections
. Attempts to treat New World species similarly have gained less acceptance. H. P. Traub (1972) recognized subg. Amerallium, encompassing all of the x = 7 North American members
of the genus.
P. Hanelt (1992) placed the Old World x = 7 species also in that subgenus
, which includes all but three of the North American species (A. schoenoprasum, A. tricoccum, and A. victorialis), which have x = 8. These latter species have been placed in subg. Rhizirideum (P. Hanelt 1992) . Resolution
of the problematic subgeneric and sectional relationships
among Old and New World species will require much more extensive molecular and phylogenetic
analysis of the genus. The characters used in the construction of the following key
are the best that have been discovered for this purpose. Many of these are subject to sometimes rather wide variation
. It is anticipated, therefore, that it can be used successfully only with considerable understanding of the natural units
involved, their distribution, and comparison with descriptions
and accurately named specimens. The Allium bulb consists of a series of leaf bases, some with blades, others without, surrounding an apical meristem. The leaf bases are replaced annually as the meristem forms a new (renewal) bulb. Often the meristem will branch
, resulting in two or more bulbs being formed from a single parent bulb (increase bulbs) . In addition several types of rhizomes are formed in Allium. In some cases (e.g.
, A. validum) bulbs form atop a thick, iris-like rhizome that produces
new bulbs in succeeding years. In other cases (e.g., A. bolanderi, A. campanulatum, and A. unifolium) each bulb produces one or more rhizomes that in turn
produce a terminal
renewal or increase bulb. There is variation even in this type of rhizome. In some species (e.g., A. bolanderi and A. unifolium) the bulb producing the rhizomes disappears during the development of the rhizomes and new bulbs except for the roots
, which remain active
until the new bulbs mature
and become dormant
. In others (e.g., A. campanulatum) the bulb produces a number of very short rhizomes around the roots, each of which develops a very small terminal bulbel. At the same time, the parent bulb remains intact and produces a renewal bulb, or may divide to produce two or more large increase bulbs. As a result, specimens with this type of rhizome will have one or more large bulbs with a number of much smaller bulbels
among the roots. The underground parts of Allium are often critical for successful identification, and every effort
should always be made to collect them. The €œdirty€ brown or gray coats surrounding the bulbs are the only source for the cellular-reticulation patterns
referred to in the key. These should be carefully collected and preserved as part of any specimen. Several Old World species (Allium ampeloprasum Linnaeus, A. cepa Linnaeus, A. oleraceum Linnaeus, A. sativum Linnaeus, A. nigrum Linnaeus), grown as foodstuffs or ornamentals
, may be encountered and are certainly represented in North American herbaria. For this reason, these species have been included
in the key. Some do not reproduce by seeds and probably should not be considered as truly naturalized
in our flora
, although they may persist for long periods at or near places where they have been planted. Additionally, over 52 species contained in this treatment are considered choice
garden plants
and are readily available through catalogues
and garden centers. Locally, these species and possibly others grown as garden plants may escape
and become established
. It is inevitable, therefore, that numerous
specimens of these escapees
will be represented in North American herbaria and may muddy the boundaries of what is regarded to be the natural distribution. We have attempted in all cases to map what we consider to be the natural ranges
of these species, based on the specimens examined over the years. Material
falling outside these ranges
may include these escapees and should be suspect.[1]
