I think the plants called "cf. parvum (funky)" are likely a distinct taxon. They may be closest to Allium burlewii. I have identified them as Allium parvum for the moment, based in part on the strongly falcate leaves seeming, based on the Flora of North America descriptions and the iNaturalist observations I had seen by the point in time when I started trying to figure out this set of plants, to be more consistent with Allium parvum than Allium obtusum. However, as I've been poking at these plants further it seems that the most frequently observed form of Allium parvum around the east base of the Sierra Nevada (marked "cf. parvum (pink)") has very narrow, channeled leaves that are not falcate.
I think there are two taxa included within Allium abramsii: one more northern, with flowers more purplish and inner tepals not crispate, the other more southern, with flowers more bluish and inner tepals crispate. I'm not sure which one gets the name "Allium abramsii" if the two are split. The northern form is the one marked "cf. denticulatum" here.
