SCALLION (often Scullion, but improperly) is an 

 onion when pulled young, before the bulb has formed. 

 Its white part may be eaten raw or chopped in salads, 

 and is popular abroad. Or the term is applied to 

 onions which do not "bottom^ or bulb well, so 

 that the neck remains thick. Leeks are sometimes 

 called Scallions, as are Shallots, especially a variety 

 majus.
