Allium jacquemontii is a plant species native to India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Xizang (Tibet) and Xinjiang. It grows high in the mountains at elevations of 4,000–4,500 metres (13,100–14,800 ft).[2][3]
Allium jacquemontii forms solitary egg-shaped bulbs about 10 millimetres (0.39 in) across. Scapes are up to 40 centimetres (16 in) tall. Umbel forms a hemisphere of many densely packed red or purple flowers.[2][4][5]
