ROCAMBOLE

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 425 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RHY-RON
ROCAMBOLE , Allium Scorodoprasum, a
hardy
  bulbous perennial occurring in a wild state in sandy pastures and
waste
  places throughout Europe, but not common in the
south
 ; in Britain it is rare, and found in the north of England and the
south
  of
Scotland
 . Its cultivation does not appear to be of ancient date; it is not mentioned by Greek and Roman authors, and there are only a small number of
original
  common names among ancient peoples (A. de Candolle, Origin of Cultivated Plants, p. 72). The plant is grown for its bulbs, which are smaller and milder than those of garlic, and consist of several cloves chiefly produced at the roots. The cloves are planted about the end of February or in
March
 , and treated like garlic or
shallot
 . When mature, the bulbs are taken up, dried and stored for use.
