Allium serra is a species of wild onion known by several common names, including jeweled onion, pom-pon onion, and serrated onion. It is endemic to northern California. It favors hard soils with rock and clay, including serpentine soil. The plant comes from a small herringbone-patterned bulb an average of one centimeter in diameter. It has a long stem on which it bears a tightly bunched flower cluster of flowers. The attractive bright pink flowers are thimble or bell-shaped, often iridescent when new and becoming papery as they dry.
