Allium obliquum L. 

 

 

Flora Europaea

the original Linnean specimen

 

 

 

 

This is a petrophile steppe species from Central Asia and distal Eastern Europe with a relic totally isolated population in Trascau Mountains, western Romania. We are surprised that this species was not found yet in the xeric steppe grasslands from the forest-steppe of the nearby region of the Transylvanian Plain. Yet, we expect this to happen in the future.

Cheile Turzii natural reservation area, Trascau Moutains, Cluj county, May 2008.
