Species of flowering plant From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Allium crenulatum, common name Olympic onion,[4] is a plant species native to Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. It grows in the Cascades, the Coast Ranges, the Olympic Mountains, the Wenatchee Mountains, and the mountains on Vancouver Island.[5] There is one report from Alabama, but this needs verification. The species grows on talus slopes and in alpine tundra at elevations of 600–2500 m.[6][7]
