Allium melananthum
Species of flowering plant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Allium melananthum, called ajo oscuro (dark garlic), ajo negro (black garlic) or ajo de flor negra (black-flowered garlic), is a species of wild garlic native to southeast coastal areas of Spain.[3] It is similar to three other species of Allium of the western Mediterranean, A. pruinatum, A. sphaerocephalon and A. ebusitanum, but can be distinguished from them by its dark purple to blackish-purple tepals, and its exerted stamens.[4]
