Abstract

Allium sunhangii, sp. nov., of the Middle Asiatic section Brevidentia F.O. Khass. & Iengal., (subgenus Allium, tribe Allioideae, Amaryllidaceae) is a small species from the Babatag area in the Surkhandarya region of Uzbekistan. It is morphologically close to Allium brevidens Vved. in having initially dark violet filaments and three-cuspidate inner filaments, but differs by its small size and visibly unequal tepals as well as in the phylogenetic analysis based on ITS data.
