Allium brulloi, belonging to A. sect. Codonoprasum, is described as a species new to science and illustrated. The new taxon occurs on calcareous rocks on Astypalea, a SE Aegean island. Its karyology, leaf anatomy and taxonomic relationships with other rare endemics of the E Aegean area are examined.
