Abstract
Allium taxa of Korea were taxonomically reviewed, and classified as three subgenera, ten sections, seventeen species, and three varieties. Among these, Korean endemics were recorded as six taxa; A. koreanum, A. taquetii, A. deltoide-fistulosum, A. linearifolium, A. thunbergii var. deltoides, A. thunbergii var. teretafolium. In addition, A. condensatum, A. splendens and A. maximowiczii proved to distribute only in North Korea. Keys to the subgenera, sections, species and infraspecies with descriptions of each taxon were provided.
