Shallot
The shallot is a cultivar group of the onion. Until 2010, the shallot was classified as a separate species, Allium ascalonicum. The taxon was synonymized with Allium cepa 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.
