Abstract

ABSTRACT Allium blandum belongs to a polymorphic species complex A. carolinianum , which is currently under taxonomic disentangling. We define its morphological characters and type locality in the Himalayas on the border between India and China. Its surviving original material is limited to the color illustration prepared by Indian artist Gorachand for Nathaniel Wallich and preserved in the Kew Botanic Gardens, which was reproduced with minor technical alterations in the protologue. The original illustration is designated here as lectotype of the name.
