oneiropolistt (ou-i-rop'o-list), . [< Gr. bvupo- onestt, An obsolete spelling of honest. 
a pearl, lit. oneness, union: see union.] An 
esculent plant, Allium Cepa (see Allium), es- 
pecially its bulbous root, the part chiefly used 
as food. It is a biennial herbaceous plant with long 
tubulated leaves, and a swelling pithy stalk. The bulb 
is composed of closely concentric coats (tunicated), and, 
with situation and race, varies much in size, in color, which 
runs from dark-red to white, and in the degree of the 
characteristic pungency, which is greater in the small red 
onions than in the larger kinds. The raw onion has the 
properties of a stimulant, rubefacient, etc., and is whole- 
some in small quantities. These properties and its pun- 
gency depend upon an acrid volatile oil which is expelled 
by boiling. The native country of the onion is unknown. 
It has been in use from the days of ancient Egypt, and is 
said to be more widely grown for culinary purposes than 
almost any other plant. It endures tropical heat and the 
coolest temperate climate. Its varieties are very numer- 
ous. The onions of Italy, Spain, Mexico, California, and 
the Bermudas are specially noted for size and quality.
