'''Allium bolanderi''' is a species of wild onion known by the common name '''Bolander's onion'''. It is native to the mountains of northern California and southern Oregon, where it grows in rocky habitat.

== Description ==
[[Allium bolanderi]] is a perennial herb growing from a small bulb and producing a naked green stem up to about 30 centimeters tall. The stem is surrounded by two to four long, flat leaves that wither away by flowering time. The [[inflorescence]] contains up to 30 flowers, each just under a centimeter wide. The flower is bell-shaped with six tepals in shades of pink to magenta, each with a darker midvein.

== Taxonomy ==
The species was first described by [[Sereno Watson]] in 1879. The specific epithet, ''bolanderi'', honors [[Henry Nicholas Bolander]], a German-American botanist who collected extensively in California.

== Distribution and habitat ==
[[Allium bolanderi]] is found in the mountains of northern California and southern Oregon. It prefers rocky habitats, often growing in crevices in cliffs and on rocky slopes.

== Cultivation ==
While not commonly cultivated, [[Allium bolanderi]] can be grown in a rock garden or alpine house. It prefers well-drained soil and full sun.

== Uses ==
The bulbs of [[Allium bolanderi]] were traditionally used by Native American tribes as a food source. They were often cooked or dried for storage.

== Conservation ==
[[Allium bolanderi]] is not currently considered threatened or endangered. However, like all wild plants, it should be protected and its habitat preserved.
