'''Allium omeiense''' is a species of [[onion]] that belongs to the [[Allium]] genus, which is part of the [[Amaryllidaceae]] family. This plant species is native to [[Sichuan]] province in [[China]], where it grows in meadows and on slopes at altitudes of 2,400 to 3,000 meters.

== Description ==
The '''Allium omeiense''' is a bulbous perennial that grows up to 30 cm tall. The bulbs are ovoid and measure about 1 cm in diameter. The leaves are linear, flat, and measure up to 15 cm long and 2 mm wide. The flowers of the '''Allium omeiense''' are purple and bloom in a spherical umbel. The flowering period is from July to August.

== Taxonomy ==
The '''Allium omeiense''' was first described by the Chinese botanist [[Tang Tsin]] and his colleague [[F.T. Wang]] in 1980. The species name "omeiense" refers to the [[Mount Emei]], a sacred Buddhist mountain in Sichuan province, where this species was first discovered.

== Cultivation ==
The '''Allium omeiense''' is not widely cultivated and is rarely found outside its native range. It prefers well-drained soil and full sun exposure. The bulbs should be planted in the autumn at a depth of about three times their diameter.

== Uses ==
While the '''Allium omeiense''' is primarily grown for ornamental purposes due to its attractive purple flowers, like many other species in the Allium genus, it is also edible and has been used in traditional Chinese medicine.
