Allium porrum is the scientific name of which vegetable?
Taxonomy of Allium of subspecies and varieties, as well as synonymous species, which have been labelled the ""A. ampeloprasum" complex". Horticulturally, it is represented by at least four groups, including leeks, whose exact ancestry has been considered uncertain. In the molecular phylogenetic study by Hirschegger and colleagues (2010) showed section "Allium" to be a well supported clade with two main subclades, one of which included two smaller clades. All of the tetraploid forms of "A. ampeloprasum" were resolved in a single clade, and leeks appeared to be more closely allied to "A. iranicum" and "A. atroviolaceum" than "A. ampeloprasum".
