Licoricelike herb (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

anise

(Other definitions for anise that I've seen before include "Plant with liquorice-flavoured seeds" , "Plant with aromatic seeds" , "Plant with seeds used as flavouring" , "Plant providing flavour similar to liquorice" , "Herb with aromatic seeds" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
