A type of onion resembling a spring onion, also known as the Welsh onion.
The cibol is a perennial onion relative grown for its hollow, tube-like green leaves rather than for a large bulb, and it is used in cooking much like a scallion or spring onion. Despite the common name Welsh onion, the plant is not native to Wales but was introduced to Europe from Asia. Cibol appears mainly in older gardening and cookery texts, where it names the same plant now more often called a spring onion or scallion.
