03C4878D1C39FFABA3E8FB25A38D1767.taxon	materials_examined	Type: — Kazakhstan, Almaty region, southern flank of the Toksanbai mountain range, N 44 ° 33 ’ 14 ”, E 79 ° 37 ’ 12.4 ”, 2880 m, on a scree slope. 22.07.2019. P. Vesselova, K. Osmonaly, N. Friesen, B. Neuffer, H. Hurka (Holotype OSBU 27869!, isotypes AA!, ALTB!). It differs from the closely related Allium obliquum by purple perianth (not yellow), falcate leaves (not oblique), hemispherical and lax inflorescence, rounded bulbs (not oblong ovate) with coriaceous tunics. It differs from A. carolinianum by inner filaments with obtuse teeth at the base (not triangular without teeth), and rounded (not ovoid), bulbs with dirty yellow coriaceous (not brown, leathery) tunics.	en	Friesen, Nikolai, Vesselova, Polina, Osmonaly, Bektemir, Sitpayeva, Gulnara, Luferov, Alexander, Shmakov, Alexander (2021): Allium toksanbaicum (Amaryllidaceae), a new species from Southeast Kazakhstan.
