Allium lojaconoi, common name Maltese dwarf garlic, is a species of wild garlic endemic to the Republic of Malta in the Mediterranean. It is closely related to A. parciflorum, from Sardinia and Corsica.[1][2]
Allium lojaconoi usually grows on rocky ground near the coast, on all three of the major islands of the country (Malta, Gozo and Comino).[3]
