- Other comments :
- Galanga should not be confused with ''galangal '' spices. Indeed, even if there are both extracted from rhizome, we are not talking about the same species. Here we are studying Kaempferia galanga when ''galangal '' refers to Alpinia galanga (greater galangal) and Alpinia officinarum (lesser galangal).
