I think your plant is Curcuma caesia, having a deep violet-red patch which runs through the length of the lamina is characteristic for this sp. check the colour of the rhizome
I think your guess is correct ! This is not Curcuma caesia. Its rhizome os dark blue. Here it is more yellowish. Leaves and inflorescence is required for correct ID. Thanks, …, I have forwarded you leaves & inflorescence.
Enclosing fresh image of rhizome for ID validation. Appears to be Curcuma ferruginea This looks matching … and POWO shows distribution for the location. …: Please see for inclusion in the FoI ! did it have a nice aroma when you cut it? before you dug it out what did the leaves look like? . |
