Definition

noun type of onion plant producing small clustered mild-flavored bulbs used as seasoning

Between these sickly shrubs grew a scanty supply of garlic, tomatoes, and eschalots; while, lone and solitary, like a forgotten sentinel, a tall pine raised its melancholy head in one of the corners of this unattractive spot, and displayed its flexible stem and fan-shaped summit dried and cracked by the fierce heat of the sub-tropical sun. — The Count of Monte Cristo, Alexandre Dumas
