%X A new species of <i>Allium</i> L. (Amaryllidaceae) from Zhejiang, eastern China, namely <i>A. littoricola</i>, was described and illustrated. Morphological analysis indicates this new species is similar to <i>A. longistylum</i> Baker, but differs in having ovoid bulb, tunic white, light-purple, membranous, leaf blades ascending, scape lateral, hollow in cross section or solid at base, perianth segments 5–6 × 2–3 mm, inner filaments base 1-toothed at each side; low altitude and coastal hillside habitat. Molecular phylogenetic analyses also support it as a new species and suggest that it is closely related to <i>A. longistylum</i> Baker.
