Thanks Harithasandhya, The only Cymbopogon that has a ginger flavour according to my previous records is *Cymbopogon martinii *(Roxb.) J. F. Watson var. *sofia* hort. (an oil is extracted from it). So I would say ഇഞ്ചി പുല്ല് Inji pullu = *Cymbopogon martinii *(Roxb.) J. F. Watson var. *sofia* hort. വാസന പുല്ല് Vasana pullu = *Cymbopogon citratus *(DC.) Stapf.
