Also known as shallot, Shallot

The shallot is a cultivar group of the onion. Until 2010, the (French red) shallot was classified as a separate species, Allium ascalonicum. The taxon was synonymized with Allium cepa (the common onion) in 2010, as the difference was too small to justify a separate species.

火葱[2][3]或分蔥[4]（学名：Allium ascalonicum）为石蒜科葱属的多年生草本鱗莖植物。鱗莖表面有紫紅色薄膜，肉淺紫白色[5]。别名紅蔥頭[6]、香蔥、四季蔥、大頭蔥、珠蔥、油蔥，[7]、朱蔥、綿蔥[8]。分布在亚洲中西部以及中国南方等地，多生于村边，目前已由人工引种廣泛栽培，在亚洲各地广泛作為調味料用蔬菜[3]。 染色體數目16 (2n=16)[3][9]。 火蔥根尖的染色體，共16條。 目录 1 用途 2 同名异物 3 参考文献 4 相关条目 用途 切碎的红葱头可以用来烹调沙爹酱。 可作油蔥酥等調味料。 市場上可見中空呈圓筒狀的葉較一般大蔥為短，蔥管僅0.5厘米，蔥頭不到一厘米者，可能是不良品，被淘汰為青蔥販賣，或是農家自家栽培販賣，因本種主要乃採收蔥頭（鱗莖）為主，本種是製作油蔥的重要來源[7]。 同名异物 火葱全株 中文俗名“火蔥”有时也用于指称其它近缘物种，如洋蔥的一個變種（ Allium cepa var. aggregatum G.Don）[3]，其形態有個特殊之處是花莖不發育，亦即其靠其叢生狀的鱗莖作無性繁殖[3]。 参考文献 ^ Allium ascalonicum L..

The shallot is a cultivar group of the onion. Until 2010, the (French red) shallot was classified as a separate species, Allium ascalonicum. The taxon was synonymized with Allium cepa (the common onion) in 2010, as the difference was too small to justify a separate species.

As part of the onion genus Allium, its close relatives include garlic, scallions, leeks, chives, and the Chinese onion.
