Discussion
According to Farber 1991, 241 probably not crocus (thus CAD A/2, 113 and Powell 2003, 21), but perhaps fennel (Foeniculum vulgare). Sometimes considered an allium or bulbous plant, since it occurs around garlic etc. (note also spellings and variants from lex. contexts, using SUM). The logographic spelling AN.DAḪ.ŠUM appears to be a pseudologogram.
