Allium oschaninii

Allium oschaninii, the French gray shallot, griselle or true shallot, is a perennial plant of the onion genus Allium. It forms underground bulbs much like the (French red) shallots, covered by a layer of pale brown-grey skin (hence the common name).

It is native to Northeastern Iran and Central Asia. It is widely planted in parts of southern France for culinary use.
