I believe the answer is:

anise

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

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
