Aromatic ginger, known in Kerala as kacholam, is a low, stemless herb of the ginger family with two to four broad, rounded leaves lying flat on the ground and delicate white flowers with a violet spot. It grows from small, fragrant rhizomes and is cultivated in India, including Kerala, and across Southeast Asia.
The aromatic rhizome is traditionally used in Ayurvedic hair oils, respiratory preparations and fragrant powders, and it is also used as a flavouring. Export of wild-collected material from India is restricted, so this plant is listed here as restricted in trade and is not offered.
