There are lots and lots of curcuma(s)
I grow one called Mango Tumeric because the leaves smell of mango.
Very interesting large flowers. It grows leaves to 1m (3') like ginger
needs warm climate.
Curcuma domestica = Tumeric ( very good for gout )
Curcuma zedoaria =Zedoary.
Saffron would give you the colour (yellow) but the flavour?
