Nothoscordum (Amaryllidaceae [formerly part of Liliaceae]) 4b:394  
Nothoscordum borbonicum, formerly known as N. gracile (fragrant false-garlic or onion weed) is an introduced species that resembles Allium (the onion, leek and garlic genus), but lacks the distinctive onion or garlic smell. This species has bulbs and narrow, flat leaves. The flowers are in umbels on the ends of long, erect stalks and are scented.

Note: Asphodelus is also commonly called onion weed.
