sulfurwort


Explanation:
This is another name of "lovage" and to my mind a better one. Because "lovage" means not only a "Levisticum officinale" but "Aulacospermum" as well. "Sulfurwort" means just "Levisticum officinale" or "lubczyk"

disagree  Lota: maybe this is correct. But this is a spice. It sounds much better to say "add a pinch of lovage to the soup" than "add some sulfwort." :)
