Muscari macrocarpum, Aegean Islands and western Turkey, is what initially occurred to me, but Muscari muscarimi could be thought of as yellowish in some forms, and is certainly fragrant -- also SW Turkey. Either of these, but particularly M. macrocarpum, may have been cultivated by the flower-loving Persians, and I doubt that Sackville-West was wandering around in the mountains. Jane McGary
