Florence Fennel, Finocchio - Foeniculum vulgare: var. dulce or var. azoricum

Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a plant species in the genus Foeniculum (treated as the sole species in the genus by most botanists). It is a member of the family Apiaceae (formerly the Umbelliferae). Compared to herb fennel, Florence fennel is shorter with darker green foliage and is grown for its large, flat thick rosette of petioles at the base often referred to as a “bulb.” It is a hardy, perennial, umbelliferous herb/vegetable, with yellow flowers and feathery leaves.
