Q is hard, but what about
Quassia amara
It's from the bark of the tree, very bitter, used as flavoring for drinks - alchoholic and non - and for medicinal purposes.

W for wormwood.
I can't see much hope for X, unless someone knows of perhaps a chinese name for a herb.
Next: X for the brave

Wow, cool, Beetle. But how common are these squill bulbs and what are they? (I'm glad my inspiration about the Chinese helped, though I don't think it would have helped me much!)

I had to look up some more details, other than just the name. Seems this is also referred to as a sea onion & is used as a medicinal herb.
