Allium yanchiense is a plant species endemic to China, reported from Gansu, Hebei, Nei Mongol, Ningxia, Qinghai, Shaanxi and Shanxi. It grows at elevations of 1300–2000 m.[1]

Allium yanchiense has clusters of egg-shaped bulbs, each up to 20 mm in diameter. A scape is up to 40 cm long, and round in cross-section. Leaves are tubular, about 2 mm across, shorter than the scape. An umbel is spherical, crowded with many white or pinkish flowers.[1][2]
