var. sibiricum
The native wild chives of rocky river banks and rock crevices in the Lake Superior region and along the Escanaba River has been referred to var. sibiricum (L.) Hartm. Native plants appear to be less densely clumped (fewer stems in a clump), and perhaps generally coarser than garden chives, which may escape into disturbed sites, but the differences are difficult to apply in the herbarium. Lower Peninsula and Baraga, Chippewa, Gogebic, Iron, and Schoolcraft Co. records are, however, clearly not from indigenous stands.
