Shimonita. " This is quite a distinct vegetable, intermediate in character 

 between the leek and onion. On first sight the stem would unhesitatingly be

 distinguished by its round hollow leaf. The central leaf forms a very peculiarly 

 pointed cylinder, which is solid and of good flavor, but rather peppery."
