The Greek name for the Syr Darya, a river which snakes through the heart of Central Asia and the heartland of garlic's origins. A wild variety which has proven to be a prolific seed producer, it has readily adapted to domestic life and makes rather decent large cloves of sulfurous, powerful garlic. Interestingly, despite looking more like a Marbled, its cooked flavor and texture is more like a Glazed. Just part and parcel of being a wild garlic that doesn't fit in categories!
