==Description==
'''''Allium campanulatum''''' is a species of [[Allium|wild onion]] known by the common name '''dusky onion''' or '''Sierra onion'''.
The dusky onion, ''Allium campanulatum'', grows from a gray-brown [[bulb]] one to two centimeters wide which may extend tiny [[rhizome]]s and produce small daughter [[bulblet]]s. It rises on a stout stem and has usually two long, thin leaves that wither before the flowers bloom. On top of the stem is an [[inflorescence]] of 10 to 50 flowers. Each flower is half a centimeter to one centimeter wide and is pink, purple, or less often white, and each [[tepal]] has a dark-colored base. The tepals are variable in shape, from narrow and very pointy to spade-shaped. Anthers are purple; pollen yellow.<ref>[http://calphotos.berkeley.edu/cgi/img_query?query_src=photos_index&where-taxon=Allium+campanulatum ''Allium campanulatum'' — U.C.
