Welsh Onion

Chambers's Encyclopaedia, Volume 10: Swastika to Zyrianovsk and Index, p. 606

Welsh Onion, or CIBOL (Allium fistulosum), a perennial plant, a native of Siberia, with fistular leaves and no bulb, and a flavour resembling garlic. It is cultivated in various parts of Europe, including England. 'Welsh' here only means, as it used to do, 'foreign' (like the German Wälsch).
