This large patch of Allium tricoccum is populated by the broader-leafed ramps that are common across Pennsylvania. They have been collected and eaten for thousands of years, starting with Native Americans. More recently, they have become popular among foodies and restaurant chefs, leading to an increased demand by urban consumers.
Allium burdickii has narrower leaves than Allium tricoccum and flowers a bit later than the more common species of ramp, however it offers a similar strong garlic-like aroma and onion-like flavor.
Cassie Stark, who spearheaded the study as a master’s degree student, studied four populations each of Allium tricoccum and Allium burdickii in southwestern Pennsylvania, and compared and contrasted the habitats where they were found. She is shown in a population of Allium burdickii — commonly known as narrow-leaved wild leek
The presence of a second species of ramp, Allium burdickii — commonly known as narrow-leaved wild leek — has been documented in southwest Pennsylvania by a team of Penn State researchers in a new study. This plant species never before has been documented in the state, and the researchers suggest the discovery shows a need to protect remaining populations of the plant.
