| Allium rhizomatum | |
Allium rhizomatum is a species of plant native to southern Arizona ( Cochise and Santa Cruz Counties), southern New Mexico ( Catron, Grant, Hidalgo, Socorro, Sierra and Eddy Counties) and western Texas ( Brewster and Jeff Davis Counties) in the United States, and Chihuahua in Mexico. It is generally found in dry, grassy areas at elevations of 1200–2200 m. [1] [2] Its common names include spreading wild onion [3] and red flower onion. [4]
Allium rhizomatum spreads by means of underground rhizomes, with new bulbs forming as much as 3 cm away from the parent plant. Bulbs are narrowly ellipsoid, up to 3 cm long but rarely more than 1 cm across. Flowers are up to 10 mm across; tepals white with red central veins, without glands; ovary oblong to elongate, lacking a crest; anthers yellow or pink; pollen yellow or white. [1] [5] [6] [3]
Some authors have considered A. rhizomatum to be the same species as A. glandulosum found in central and southern Mexico, but this latter species has deep red flowers, a rounded ovary and glands on the sepals. [1]
