Allium microdictyon is a species of flowering plant in the family Amaryllidaceae, native to eastern Siberia, Mongolia, Inner Mongolia, Manchuria, Korea, and the southern portions of the Russian Far East.[1] It is very similar to Allium ochotense and is called 'mountain garlic' along with it by Koreans, who consume their leaves as a side dish.[2]
