Allium hintoniorum is a wild onion species, a bulbous geophyte from dry shrubland in Nuevo León, northeastern Mexico, named after the Hinton family of botanists. It is rarely cultivated, so it is grown mainly by specialist collectors who treat it like other dry-climate onions, with sharp drainage and a dry rest.
Allium hintoniorum is a plant species native to the State of Nuevo León in northeastern Mexico.
The specific epithet hintoniorum is grammatically in a plural form, as the plant is named in honor of British-born botanist George Boole Hinton (1882-1943), his son Jaime, and his grandson George.
