Crimean Allium from mntns "anzur-group"
« on: June 06, 2008, 01:53:48 PM »
I found it only in 1 habitat, it smells very pleasantly like nightly violets (Matthiola bicornis),
50-60 cm height, has always 3 leaves, flowering time - end of May-beginning of June.
Any idea? I can't find any information on this species in different Floras of Ukraine.....

Many thanks!

The key to Allium species in Flora of Pakistan is amended including the diagnostic characters of the newly recorded species.
