Check the colour of the rhizome. Curcuma caesia or Curcuma zanthorrhiza It is not C.caesia. Colour of rhizome/bulb is white with yellow ring, I think
Since the rhizome is ivory coloured it may be Curcuma picta. I have deleted the earlier mail with plant and inflorescence. PL. forward the same. The inflorescence is used as a vegetable by the local people. It grows wild near paddy fields. C. picta ? That is what … has stated. |
