As part of the phylogenetic revision of the Eurasian representatives of the sub genus Amerallium we have discovered a new Allium species (section Molium ) in Israel, related to A. qasyunense . It is described here as Allium akirense, based on living plants and recent herbarium specimens. Independence of the new species is confirmed by morphological and ecological features , and also by molecular ones . To learn more about the phylogenetic relationships within a group of closely related species of section Molium , we used maximum parsimony and Bayesian analyses of combined nuclear (ITS—internal transcribed and ETS—external transcribed spacers of rRNA genes ) and chloroplast ( rpl 32– trn L intergenic spacer) dataset of 7 taxa. Discussion on geographic distribution, conservation status and habitat is provided, as well as an identification key including the closest related species.
