R. M. Fritsch (compiler): Checklist of ornamental Allium species and cultivars currently offered in the trade

This checklist was compiled using recent catalogues (printed ones and in electronic form), and other kinds of offers of plant and bulb traders. It presents about 250 species (plus c. 50 synonyms and spelling variants, and c. 20 hybrids and intraspecific taxa), and 240 cultivars. Species and after them the cultivars are arranged in two tables in alphabetical order. The offspring of a cultivar, or the source of the material distributed in the trade, some morphological characters, the flowering period, and the use are presented as far as they were communicated in the sources. Additional columns contain information selected by the compiler, and the affiliation to subgenera and sections in the most recent Allium classification accepting 15 subgenera and about 80 sections. 64 pp., published 15 March 2015
