Spring onions or scallions: thin white onions that can be eaten uncooked, whole or chopped, in salads.
Used throughout South Wales and parts of England. Now disappearing from use as people eat fewer salads anyway, and even those who do tend to buy ready-made mixtures of salad vegetables so do not have any call to purchase them separately.

What a lovely bunch of jibbons! They'll go nicely with an iceberg lettuce and a couple of tomatoes for my tea.
