Allium ampeloprasum L. subsp. ampeloprasum

SYNONYM(S) :  Allium ascendens Ten., Allium ampeloprasum L. var. bulbiferum Syme,  Allium ampeloprasum L. var. bulbilliferum Lloyd,  Allium ampeloprasum L. var. holmense (Mill.) Asch. & Graebn.,   Allium porrum L. subsp. ampeloprasum (L.) Breistroffer, Allium porrum L. var. ampeloprasum (L.) Mirbel , Allium bertoloni De Not.,  Allium holmense Mill.,  Allium lineare Mill., Allium multiflorum Desf.,   Allium tortifolium Batt. & Trabut,  Allium spectabile De Not.


The  above synonymy remains to be checked. There is some confusion between the synonyms of  this cultivated form of A. ampeloprasum (Ampeloprasum Group) and of the lesser known "pearl onion" (Sectivum Group).
The common names usually applied to the species apply to this subspecies.
Allium ampeloprasum L. var. ampeloprasum

ENGLISH :  Wild leek.

SPANISH :    Puerro silvestre.



The common names usually applied to the species would apply to this variety if it was the cultivated form (as implied by the USDA GRIN Databse) but we believe that it is instead a wild form. The correct botanical name for the cultivated form should be A. ampeloprasum subsp. ampeloprasum. It is unfortunate that the trade always  ignore the words "subsp. ampeloprasum".

This valuable plant is still in search of stable identity. Named Allium lusitanum  by  Vilmorin-Andrieux in 1925, it has been wrongly called Allium lusitanicum by most authors. Both "lusitanum" and "lusitanicum"  mean "Portuguese" or  "from Portugal". However the valid name Allium lusitanicum Lam. (1783)  is already used for a flat-leaved allium wich flowers and in fact is exploited for its ornamental leaves and flowers. "Ciboule de St-Jacques" on the other hand has round leaves like chives and like the true shallot, never flowers. Its value is in its survival capacity and culinary qualities.
Apart from the French language, no other language seems to have specific vernacular name for this species…unless this is the perutile onion from the British Isles going back to as early as 1633.
