Hi,  Photographed at my farm at Shahapur yesterday. Please identify the plant on the right in photograph 1. The other is a typical plant of Hill Tumeric [Cucurma pseudomontana] the likes of which I had posted photographs of a few days ago and for convience have also included a close-up here - photograph 7.                      Thanks,                                   With regards,                                     Neil Soaresl

Of course, Curcuma is the valid genus name. 

I think it was a typo.
