About Allium fibrillum M.E.Jones
Allium fibrillum M.E.Jones is a North American wild onion species, commonly known as Blue Mountain onion and Cuddy Mountain onion. It is native to the northwestern United States, ranging from eastern Washington and Oregon through Idaho to Montana. This plant is a perennial herb that grows from a single rounded bulb, or a small cluster of rounded bulbs, up to 1.2 centimeters long and 1 centimeter wide. It produces two flat, linear leaves that can reach up to 24 centimeters in length; these leaves typically start to wither from the tip by the time the plant flowers. The flowering stalk grows up to 15 centimeters tall, and bears an umbel of 10 to 20 bell-shaped white flowers with green or pink midribs. Its fruit is a capsule. This plant reproduces sexually via seed, and vegetatively via sprouting from its bulb. It grows on mountaintops and scablands in sagebrush, shrubsteppe, and grassland habitats.
