Allium ampeloprasum onion genus Allium wild leek or broadleaf wild leek . Its native range is southern Europe to southwestern Asia and North Africa,[2] naturalized in many countries.
Allium ampeloprasum is regarded as native to all the countries bordering on the Black , Adriatic , and Mediterranean Seas from Portugal to Egypt to Romania . In Russia and Ukraine , it is considered invasive except in Crimea , where it is native. It is also native to Ethiopia , Uzbekistan , Iran and Iraq . It is considered naturalized in the United Kingdom , Ireland , the Czech Republic , the Baltic States , Belarus , the Azores , Madeira , the Canary Islands , Armenia , Azerbaijan , Afghanistan , China , Australia (all states except Queensland and Tasmania ), Mexico , the Dominican Republic , Puerto Rico , Haiti , the United States (southeastern region plus California , New York State , Ohio and Illinois ), Galápagos , and Argentina .[3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Virginia , where it is commonly known as the "Yorktown onion", it is protected by law in York County .[8]
The species may have been introduced to Britain by prehistoric people, where its habitat consists of rocky places near the coast in south-west England and Wales .[9] [10]
Allium ampeloprasum has been differentiated into five cultivated vegetables, namely leek , elephant garlic , pearl onion , kurrat, and Persian leek.
Wild populations produce bulbs up to 3 cm across. Scapes are round in cross-section, each up to 180 cm tall, bearing an umbel of as many as 500 flowers. Flowers are urn-shaped, up to 6 mm across; tepals white, pink or red; anthers yellow or purple; pollen yellow.[4] [11]
Vegetables
[ edit ]
Allium ampeloprasum comprises several vegetables, of which the most notable ones are:
leek
elephant garlic or great-headed garlic
pearl onion
kurrat,[9] [12]
Persian leek (Allium ampeloprasum ssp. persicum ) - a cultivated allium native to the Middle East and Iran, grown for culinary purposes and is called tareh in Persian. The linear green leaves have a mild onion flavor and are eaten raw, either alone, or in food combinations.[13]
