Allium victorialis, commonly known as victory onion, Alpine leek, and Alpine broad-leaf allium[4] is a broad-leaved Eurasian species of wild onion. It is a perennial of the Amaryllis family that occurs widely in mountainous regions of Europe and parts of Asia (Caucasus and Himalayas).[3][5]

Some authors consider certain East Asian and Alaskan populations as constituting subspecies platyphyllum within the species Allium victorialis.[6][7] Recent sources recognize this group as a distinct species, called Allium ochotense.[8][9][10][11][12]

General description

Allium victorialis attains a height of 30–45 cm (11.8–17.7 in) and forms a sheathed bulb ("root-stalk") about the thickness of a finger and 5–8 cm (2.0–3.1 in) long.[13] Leaves are broad elliptical or lanceolate. Flowers (perianths) are whitish green.[13]

Distribution

Allium victorialis is found widely across mountain ranges Europe, as well as the Caucasus and the Himalayas.[3]

Nomenclature

The specific epithet victorialis comes from the German Siegwurz (Root of Victory),[14] and it earned this name having been "worn as an amulet, to be as safeguard against the attacks of certain impure spirits," by Bohemian miners among others.[14]

Uses

The plant, in past centuries in certain mountainous regions of Europe, "was cultivated as a medicinal and fetish plant".[15]
