could be, Giby is on the right track the flower does match what FOI has but this dark reddish middle streak in the leaf is alo seen in the salled Kali Haldi *Curcuma caesia*, <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curcuma_caesia> we had it growing at the hort for a couple of years about 10 years ago. but the flowers would be different... sort of dark pinkish with magenta tint similar to what the wiki shows.
Ultimate confirmation would be to look at the rhizome!!! if possible. usha di .
