Abstract
Curcuma zan.thorrhiza Roxb., a widely distributed and utilized Asian species, has been misidentified in India for over 100 years. A description and colour plate of Curcuma zanthorrhiza are provided, with additional notes on C. zedoaria (Christm.) Roscoe and C. aromatica Salisb., which are two common misidentifications of C. zanthorrhiza in India. It is postulated that it is of South Indian origin and has been widely distributed by the Srivijaya civilisation that spread through SE Asia long before Western domination.
