Usha di I have never seen this Allium but as per my information: This species produces flat leaves (not cylindrical like onion) like garlic,but much broader about 5 cm wide and even narrowed into a petiole. Two leaves are produced per bulb appearing with the flowers. Leaves are almost 1/4 the length of scape; The bulbs unlike onion have surface coating splitting into parallel fibers.
It has such interesting names as Bear's garlic. Hog's garlic, Gypsy onion, Ramsons and Buckrams.
