About Allium cratericola Eastw.

Allium cratericola Eastw. grows from a brown-coated, oval-shaped bulb, producing a short stem that reaches up to 10 centimetres (4 inches) tall. It has one or two long, pointed leaves that can grow up to four times the length of the stem. Its umbel holds up to 20 densely clustered flowers. Each flower is bell-shaped, up to 15 mm (5⁄8 in) across. The tepals are white, pink, or purplish with a dark purple-brown midvein, and both the anthers and pollen are yellow.
