Texanum. Allium mobilense Regel Allium mobilense (synonyms A. arenicola, A. canadense var. mobilense, A. microscordion, A. mutabile) has narrow, glossy green leaves and pink, thin-textured flowers on stems about 30 centimeters tall. The small bulbs, which have fibrous, reticulated coats, increase by dividing in half and do not produce offsets. Allium canadense var. mobilense, as proposed by Ownbey, represented a sexual or nonbulbiliferous race of A. canadense occurring primarily in the southern coastal plain from eastern Texas east to Georgia and Florida, and also found in other habitats north to Missouri.

Eulae, and are glaucous gray and spirally twisted. Large, showy, many-flowered umbels of stellate white flowers clear the foliage on 60to 75-centimeter stems. Greenish ovaries diminish the clarity of flower color, but it is nonetheless a first-rate garden plant that can be seen as an American version of garlic chives (A. tuberosum). Much like A. eulae, the bulbs of A. texanum go dormant after flowering; the plant sets plenty of viable seed and resprouts in autumn. The bulb coats are membranous or obscurely reticulated.

It has been suggested, though not yet validly published, that this race should be elevated to species status as A. lavandulare. florosum is a name proposed by Thad Howard, but not yet published, for a floriferous form he found in several locations growing among large populations of typically bulbiliferous A. canadense in north central Texas. Though perhaps regarded as a forma at most (or simply under a cultivar name, for example, 'White Queen', proposed by Howard), it deserves recognition and segregation from A.
