About

Allium talyschense is a critically endangered species of wild onion native to the South Transcaucasia region of Armenia, between the villages Gnishik, Khachik and in Talish. A. talyschense has no conservation actions.

Where it grows

Only one population in Armenia is known to have it. The species can get loss of the main habitat which is caused by internal factors. It wasn't included in the very first Red Data Book of Armenia.
