A garden in Canada has 121 varieties of garlic. DNA study shows there are only 10 distinct varieties. Main differences are strength of the taste, size, shape, color, days-until-mature, drought resistance, hard-vs-soft neck, etc. Amazingly, the money is in selling seed bulbs which range from $3 to $15 each. More than 40 varieties are listed here and doesn't include elephant garlic.
