Allium saxatile is a Eurasian species of onion native to European Russia, Belarus, Caucasus, and the Altai Krai region in Siberia. The species was formerly perceived as including additional populations from central and eastern Asia but recent studies have resulting in splitting of the old species into several distinct species.
