Οικογένεια: Alliaceae

Allium hirtovaginatum Kunth

Allium stamineum: Bulb small (c. 1 cm in diam.), without bulblets; outer tunics membranous, grey. Stem 10–35 cm, often flexuous. Leaves 2–4, filiform, sheathing stem up to halfway. Umbel 3–7 cm in diam., diffuse but rather dense, usually with 15–40 flowers; pedicels unequal. Spathe valves 2, persistent, slender, at least the longer much  exceeding umbel. Perianth narrowly campanulate, short (3.5–4.5 mm), pale purple or tawny brownish-pink. Filaments distinctly exserted, often purple; anthers yellow. Ovary sessile, subglobose.

A species of uncertain status, described from Lesvos and reported from widely scattered localities in Greece and the W half of Turkey. It is evidently close to A. stamineum, but was retained in recent Floras, differing mainly in the pilose leaf sheaths.
