1. welsh onion

   Allium fistulosum, the Welsh onion, also commonly called bunching onion, long green onion, Japanese bunching onion, and spring onion, is a species of perennial plant, often considered to be a kind of scallion. The species is very similar in taste and odor to the related common onion, Allium cepa, and hybrids between the two (tree onions) exist. A. fistulosum, however, does not develop bulbs, and possesses hollow leaves (fistulosum means "hollow") and scapes. Larger varieties of A. fistulosum, such as the Japanese negi, resemble the leek, whilst smaller varieties resemble chives. A. fistulosum can multiply by forming perennial evergreen clumps. It is also grown in a bunch as an ornamental plant.

1. welsh onion

   The Welsh onion, also known as Allium fistulosum, is a perennial herbaceous plant. Although its name suggests it’s native to Wales, it actually originates from China and East Asia. Unlike common onions, Welsh onions do not develop solid bulbs and are grown for their clusters of hollow, tube-like green leaves which have a strong onion flavor. They are used in cooking to add flavor to a variety of dishes. The plant's scallions (green onions), and the top green part of the plant are also edible and used in culinary dishes.

1. Welsh onion

   Allium fistulosum L. is a perennial onion. Other names that may be applied to this plant include green onion, spring onion, scallion, escallion, and salad onion. These names are ambiguous, as they may also be used to refer to any young green onion stalk, whether grown from Welsh onions, common onions, or other similar members of the genus Allium. The species is very similar in taste and odor to the related common onion, Allium cepa, and hybrids between the two exist. The Welsh onion, however, does not develop bulbs, and possesses hollow leaves and scapes. Large varieties of the Welsh onion resemble the leek, such as the Japanese 'negi', whilst smaller varieties resemble chives. Many Welsh onions can multiply by forming perennial evergreen clumps. Next to culinary use, it is also grown in a bunch as an ornamental plant. Historically, the Welsh onion was known as the cibol. The name "Welsh onion" has become a misnomer in modern English, as Allium fistulosum is not indigenous to Wales. "Welsh" preserves the original meaning of the Old English word "welisc", or Old German "welsche", meaning "foreign". The species originated in Asia, possibly Siberia or China. In Wales, the spring onion has a dialectal variation, jibbons or sibwns which originates from the French 'ciboule.'
