| Notes |
Allium canadense L.; Hariot p.17 “. . . also Leekes differing little from our in England . . . we eat . . . naturall inhabitants never.”; The most logical candidate for this plant is “Wild Onion” Allium canadense L. I believe that our Wild Onion is much smaller in stature than European Leeks. However, like the leek, A. canadense has a flattened leaf, unlike its close relative Wild Onion (A. vineale), naturalized from Europe.; Radford, 1968, p.430 “Wild Onion” Allium canadense L. ; |
