Of course I can't find it now, but this work has been done.  As I recall the DNA fingerprinting indicated there are only 5 or so distinct varieties of garlic.  Personally I have cut back from 7 to 2 varieties of hardneck that perform well for me, have obvious morphological differences, and  taste great.  That decision was customer driven:  when asked the the taste difference between varieties, I would reply I coulnd't tell!
