In Australia, "shallots" usually refer to spring onions/green onions (the long, green leafy kind with a small white base), causing confusion with true, small bulb shallots (eschalots/French shallots) found in other countries.

Chinese Leeks can be easily distinguished from common leeks by their size and flavor. Grown for use primarily as an onion, Chinese Leeks are smaller and more slender. Resembling green onions, Chinese Leeks have thicker leaves and a milder flavor (with occasional bitterness).
