Curcuma longa ?


Request for identification: 3 images.


Please check Curcuma longa L.


Can you provide clear photos of the flowers and those of the rhizome?


Pl. check the colour and smell of the rhizome. Normally the coma bracts of C. longa is white in colour. I have also collected an inflorescence with a coma having slight purple colour from Gangtok.
