Allium corsicum is a plant species endemic to the island of Corsica in the Mediterranean. [1] [2] [3] It grows in low-elevation areas of the eastern part of the island, where it flowers in late spring. [4]

Allium corsicum produces a spherical to egg-shaped bulb and a stipe up to 60 cm tall. Leaves are flat and hairless, about 3 mm wide. Umbel has many bell-shaped flowers, white or pink with dark purple midveins. [1]
