Allium burdickii (Narrowleaf wild leek, Narrow-leaf wild leak,[2] Wild leek,[1] Ramp) is a plant that is native to fertile soils of woods in North America. The onion flavored bulbs and leaves of this plant are edible.[3]
The species name, burdickii, is in honor of Dr. J.H. Burdick of the Gray Herbarium of Harvard University who first described the differences between Allium burdickii and Allium tricoccum.[3]
