Fig. 4. Measurements of bulbs on wild garlic
The infloresecense is umbeliform arranged on a
florifera strain that passes the height of the leaves.
The floral stalk leaves from the same place take a
vaulted form. At the base of the stalks there are
bacterias wich form an involucres. The flower is type
3, specific mococotyledonous, and the tricarperal
ovary crushed emits a specific smell of the garlic and
has a sweety taste wich attracts the bugs (Fig.5).
Fig.5. Inflorescence of A. ursinum
From organoleptic point of view there has been
seen the next things: all of the vegetal products
harvested-roots,bulbs,leaves,flowers-they have a
piquant taste and powerful smell of garlic; the roots
have second branches and the bulbs (white-yellow)
are sourrounded by white and transparent
membranes; the green leaves on the both faces are
elliptical lanceolat and the pedicels are smooth, that
means the determination ucrainicum Kleopow et
Oxner [1,2].

The informations from literature of speciality
about the determination of underspecies of Allium
ursinum are very little because of the similarities
between underspecies ursinum and underspecies
ucrainium. Even, the difference can be realized when
the plants reach the level of inflorescence.
With the help of the magnifier can be observed that
the pedicels don’t prezent papillae and they have a
smooth surface (Fig.6) characteristic of the
underspecies ucrainicum [1].
Fig.6. “Pediceli” and ovary “tricarpelar” of
A. ursinum (original photo)
The spreading of the ursinum underspecies,
includes areas from Mountains Macin -Greci,
Tiganca, Niculitel- but there is not specified the area
of the Luncavita Forest [2]. Also, the recent studies
realized in North Dobrogea show on the
Gymnospermio-Celtetum Association the presence of
the Allium ursinum species but there aren’t any
references about the underspecies [13].
4. Conclusions
Our studies realized in Luncavita Forest (O.S.
Macin, U.P. I, “Izvorul lui Gavrila”) shows the
presence of the wild garlic on large areas but only on
north hills near water.
The literature informations of speciality are
confirmed concerning the exigency of the species
against trophicity of the soil and our observations
shows an affinity of the wild garlic by Corylus
avellana.
