• Aeonium — A genus of subtropical succulent plants in the family Crassulaceae, native mainly to the Canary Islands, structurally characterized by fleshy leaves arranged in perfect geometric, flower-like rosettes, often growing at the ends of woody stems. They are highly valued as ornamental plants due to their exceptional drought tolerance.
• Aeonium arboreum — A species of subtropical succulent plant in the genus Aeonium, family Crassulaceae, commonly known as the tree houseleek or tree aeonium. It is structurally characterized by woody, erect, and highly branched stems that bear dense rosettes of fleshy leaves at their tips, which are bright green or dark purple (in the 'Schwarzkopf' cultivar), and is widely cultivated as an ornamental plant.
• Sand leek — A regional popular name given to a cultivated or wild variety of garlic (Allium sativum) that reaches full maturity and is harvested during the peak of the summer season, or to the species Allium scorodoprasum (sand leek or wild garlic). The plant is structurally characterized by rigid stems and bulbs composed of small cloves, featuring persistent pungency and a high resistance to drought. Within traditional rural communities, this vegetative element played an essential economic role, being used in making winter preserves and in various culinary recipes specific to the harvest period.
• Allium — A major genus of monocotyledonous plants in the family Amaryllidaceae (subfamily Allioideae), comprising hundreds of species of perennial bulbous plants with a characteristic pungent odor. It includes food and aromatic plants of massive global economic importance, such as onion (Allium cepa), garlic (Allium sativum), leek (Allium porrum), and chives, as well as numerous species cultivated in gardens as ornamental plants due to their spectacular spherical inflorescences.
• Allium moly — The scientific name of an ornamental onion species in the family Amaryllidaceae, native to southern Europe (Spain, France, Italy), commonly known as 'golden garlic' or 'lily leek'. The plant develops rapidly into dense tufts and produces loose umbel inflorescences composed of large, bright golden-yellow star-shaped flowers, heavily used for naturalizing in partially shaded zones and cottage gardens.
• Allium triquetrum — The scientific name of a wild onion species in the family Amaryllidaceae, native to the Mediterranean basin and commonly known as 'three-cornered leek' or 'triquetrous garlic'. The plant is easily recognized by its flower stems, which are sharply three-angled in cross-section, and produces drooping clusters of white, bell-shaped flowers marked with a distinct green stripe on each petal.
