"Allium ampeloprasum" is a member of the onion genus "Allium", in the family Alliaceae. The wild plant is commonly known as (Broadleaf) Wild Leek - not to be confused with the N. American "Allium tricoccum" of the same name. Its native range is S. Europe to W. Asia, and seems to have been introduced to Britain by prehistoric people, where its habitat consists of rocky places near the coast in south-west England and Wales.
