Taxonomy of Allium
The precise taxonomy of the genus Allium is still poorly understood with incorrect descriptions being widespread.

New species continue to be described and Allium is both highly variable and one of the largest monocotyledonous genera, but the precise taxonomy of Allium is poorly understood, with incorrect descriptions being widespread.
