Identification of the wild progenitor of common garlic is difficult due to the sterility of its many [[cultivars]], which limits the ability to [[test cross|cross test]] with wild relatives.{{citation needed|date=October 2021}}{{efn|Fertility restoration in garlic strains have been successful by physiological manipulation in some strains, but there do exist ones that are completely male-sterile due to genetic factors.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Shemesh-Mayer |first1=E |last2=Ben-Michael |first2=T |last3=Rotem |first3=N |last4=Rabinowitch |first4=HD |last5=Doron-Faigenboim |first5=A |last6=Kosmala |first6=A |last7=Perlikowski |first7=D |last8=Sherman |first8=A |last9=Kamenetsky |first9=R |title=Garlic (Allium sativum L.) fertility: transcriptome and proteome analyses provide insight into flower and pollen development. |journal=Frontiers in Plant Science |date=2015 |volume=6 |pages=271 |doi=10.3389/fpls.2015.00271 |pmid=25972879 |pmc=4411974|doi-access=free }}</ref> Hybrids have been experimentally produced.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Yanagino |first1=Toshiya |last2=Sugawara |first2=Etsuko |last3=Watanabe |first3=Masao |last4=Takahata |first4=Yoshihito |title=Production and characterization of an interspecific hybrid between leek and garlic |journal=Theoretical and Applied Genetics |date=June 2003 |volume=107 |issue=1 |pages=1–5 |doi=10.1007/s00122-003-1232-1 |pmid=12835927|s2cid=11868237 }}</ref>}} Genetically and morphologically, garlic is most similar to the wild species ''[[Allium longicuspis]]'', which grows in central and southwestern Asia.<ref name="Zohary">{{Cite book|title=Domestication of Plants in the Old World |edition=3rd |last1=Zohary|first1=Daniel|last2=Hopf|first2=Maria|publisher=Oxford University Press|year=2000|isbn=978-0-19-850357-6|publication-date=January 11, 2001|pages=197}}</ref><ref name="SFNA"/><ref>{{cite book|title=Handbook of Vegetable Science and Technology: Production, Composition, Storage, and Processing|publisher=Marcel Dekker|isbn=978-0-8247-0105-5|editor-last=Salunkhe|editor-first=D.K.|publication-date=March 19, 1998|page=397|editor-last2=Kadam|editor-first2=S.S.|date=March 19, 1998}}</ref> However, because ''Allium longicuspis'' is also mostly sterile, it is doubtful that it is the ancestor of ''Allium sativum''.<ref name="Zohary"/> Other candidates that have been suggested include ''[[Allium tuncelianum]]'', ''[[Allium macrochaetum]]'', and ''[[Allium truncatum]]'', all of which are native to the [[Middle East]].<ref name="Zohary"/>
''Allium sativum'' grows in the wild in areas where it has become [[naturalisation (biology)|naturalized]]. The "wild garlic", "crow garlic", and "[[field garlic]]" of [[Great Britain|Britain]] are members of the species ''[[Allium ursinum]]'', ''[[Allium vineale]]'', and ''[[Allium oleraceum]]'', respectively. In North America, ''[[Allium vineale]]'' (known as "wild garlic" or "crow garlic") and ''[[Allium canadense]]'' (known as "meadow garlic", "wild garlic", or "wild onion") are common [[weed]]s in fields.<ref>McGee p. 112</ref> So-called [[
