Allium ramosum, called Fragrant-flowered Garlic[3] or Chinese chives[4][5] is a northern Asian species of wild onion native to Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Siberia, the Russian Far East, and northern China (Gansu, Hebei, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Qinghai, Shaanxi, Shandong, Shanxi, Xinjiang).[2][6][7][8][9] The species is also naturalized in a few places in eastern Europe.[2][10] In its native range, it grows at elevations of 500–2100 m.[11]
Allium ramosum has clusters of narrow bulbs. Scapes are up to 60 cm tall. Leaves are linear, keeled, shorter than the scape. Umbels have many flowers crowded together. Tepals are white or pale red with a red midvein.[11][12][13]
