A reply from Dan Mathew Dear Dr These are not *Curcuma neilgherrensis, *since they dont have sterile bracts (coma) at the tip of the spike. The white flowered one is *Curcuma oligantha *which has distribution only in northern Kerala and South Karnataka in India, also in Sri Lanka. The yellow flowered one is its endemic variety: *Curcuma oligantha *var. * lutea.* Dr. Mathew Dan TBGRI, Plaode
