Thanks for the comments back to me, on this list and directly, about this onion. It does appear to be Allium vineale, and it is a new record for the county it is in (Clatsop County, Oregon), so we will be marking and digging, and monitoring. I will also send a pressed plant or 5 to the OSU herbarium.
