Allium autumnale P.H.Davis |
Allium autumnale is a species of monocot plant in the Amaryllidaceae family endemic to the island of Cyprus.
Allium autumnale has been found in the Troodos mountains and the northern coastal belt of Cyprus. This puts a bound on the elevation it grows, between 100 to 1,380 m (330 to 4,530 ft). It grows predominantly in pine litter, on garrigue, on limestone, sandstone or igneous hillsides, and sometimes in vineyards or hedgerows. [1]
