- Allium sativum L.
Allium sativum L., commonly known as garlic, is an ancient vegetable native to Central Asia and parts of Iran. It was known to Ancient Egyptians and was both used as a seasoning and in folk medicine. Allium sativum is a bulbous plant which can grow up to 1.2 m in height. Allium sativum var. ophioscorodon (Link) Doll, often known as Rocambole garlic, is one of the cultivar groups from Eastern Europe. Others include the Sativum (mediterranean), Longicuspis (Central Asia), Pekinese (China), and sub-tropical (India, Vietname, and Myanmar) groups.
In English, Bawang (Allium sativum L.) is known by Common garlic, Garlic, or Rocambole.

It is also known as rocambole garlic to differentiate it from Allium scorodoprasum L. (Sand Leek) which is also known as rocambole in some parts of the world.
- Allium cepa L. var. cepa
Allium cepa L. var cepa provides most of the diversity within the A. cepa group and it is the most economically important Allium crop. Plants within this group form large single bulbs, and are grown from seed or seed-grown sets. The majority of cultivars grown for dry bulbs, salad onions, and pickling onions belong to this group. The range of diversity found among these cultivars includes variation in photoperiod (length of day that triggers bulbing), storage life, flavour, and skin colour. Common onions range from the pungent varieties used for dried soups and onion powder to the mild and hearty sweet onions, such as the Vidalia from Georgia, USA, or Walla Walla from Washington that can be sliced and eaten raw on a sandwich.
In English, Bawang (Allium cepa L. var. cepa) is known by Bulb onion, Common onion, or Onion.
