Allium obtusiflorum

Allium obtusiflorum Redouté in 2025 is considered to be a synonym of Allium paniculatum ssp. obtusiflorum (Redouté) Bran. See Allium paniculatum. Other synonyms of this subspecies are Allium maritimum Raf. and Allium pusillum Cirillo ex Ten. It is endemic to Sicily, Italy, in the northern coast near Palermo. It grows in maritime sands, and on cliffs and hillsides. Height range: 7-20 cm. Allium erythraeum Griseb. and Allium thessalicum Brullo & al. were once considered synonymous with A. obtusiflorum, but were discovered to be separate species in the paper Cytotaxonomical revision or the Allium ohtusiflorum group (Alliaceae) by Salvatore Brullo et al 1994.
