Allium guanxianense is a plant species endemic to Sichuan in China. It is found on damp slopes at elevations of 1,800–2,000 m (5,900–6,600 ft).[1]
Allium guanxianense has thick fleshy roots but thin bulbs rarely more than 10 mm (0.39 in) across. Scapes are up to 60 cm (24 in) tall, round in cross-section. Leaves are flat, narrowly oblanceolate, shorter than the scape and 2–3 cm (0.79–1.18 in) wide. Umbel is spherical, with white flowers.[1][2][3]
