Nomenclatural Comment
Allium porrum is a rejected (nom. rej.), heterotypic synonym (Shenzhen ICN Art. 14.4 & App. IV) of A. ampeloprasum L., nom. cons., when the two are considered the same species see https://naturalhistory2.si.edu/botany/codes-proposals/display_new.cfm But A. porrum is a correct name if A. porrum and A. ampeloprasum are treated as separate species (Shenzhen ICN Art. 14.6). We regard A. porrum and A. ampeloprasum are distinct species following Hirschegger et al. 2010 and Healy & Edgar 1980.
