Thank you sir for ID.

Will you please give the ID key to differentiate C. inodora from C. decipiens.

As per description both species are variable then how to separate them?

Please help.🙏 Thank you.

Highly variable. Curcuma inodora is treated as synonym of C. decipiens since the latter has priority over the former.

Thanking you,

Thank you so much Garg ji and Sabu ji for confirming the ID.

[Nitin Kawthankar]

Dear Garg sir & Sabu sir

I checked on POWO, both these names (Curcuma decipiens & C. inodora) are accepted as different plants.

Sabu sir could you please put some more light on this. Can you plz provide some references for these synonyms.

Thank you

Regards,

Nitin Kawthankar

[J.M. Garg]

Hope Sabu ji throws more light on it.

I am also kept them as different but after some more studies  Iam planning to merge these two. It will take some more time.
