In the UK I've also seen them being sold as "salad onions". What is being sold as spring onions often has a slightly bigger bulb at the bottom than you'd expect from scallions.

Two bunches of "scallions" I got recently - one from a Chinese grocery (the bottom one) and one from a Supermarket (the top one). I am inclined to think (but of course could be wrong) that the top one [supermarket] is Allium cepa (or derived from it) and the bottom one [Chinese grocery] is Allium fistulosum (or derived from it).

Yesterday, a few blocks over in Chinatown, scallions were $1.50 a bunch...I usually pay around $1 - $1.50 for 2 bunches. On my way back home, I stopped at Essex Market, where scallions at my greengrocer were $2 a bunch!!

The great scallion shortage of late 2022 is upon us!! (Or maybe there was just crappy weather for a few weeks - I expect the price will come back down).
