Allium melitense
Allium melitense
Allium melitense is a species of wild leek endemic to the Maltese archipelago. The species was first described as a variety of Allium ampeloprasum by Stefano Sommier and Alfredo Caruana Gatto in their Maltese flora published in 1915, while emphasizing its observable differences with A. ampeloprasum and the need for further study. The taxon was then elevated to species by Raffaele Ciferri and Valerio Giacomini, and again by Mifsud & Mifsud in 2018.
