A reply: "It may be C. zanthorrhiza or C. zedoaria. This can be confirmed only if the color of rhizome inside and leaf nature are available. If the color of the rhizome is dark orange red and the leaf has dark purple patch along the midrib from base to top it would be C. zanthorrhiza. Whereas the rhizome is cream and a faint purple patch is seen along midrib it would be C. zedoaria. There are chances of C. caesia if the colr of rhizome is dark blue inside. Please check the details and send the photos again. Thanks for reading this mail.
