Temu putri
Curcuma petiolata · hidden lily
Curcuma petiolata is a plant native to Southeast Asia, particularly Thailand, where it contributes to the biodiversity of the genus Curcuma. While traditional uses for this specific species are not well-documented, studies have identified volatile compounds in 12 Indonesian Zingiberaceae spices that exhibit antioxidant and antidiabetic properties, suggesting potential health benefits. Additionally, two new Curcuma taxa—C. sumonii and C. wanchaii—were described from Thailand through AFLP analysis, which separated 20 species into three clusters, indicating the genus's diverse bioactive compound profiles. Thai Curcuma species, including C. longa and C. angustifolia, have shown varying antioxidant properties and bioactive compound contents, though specific findings for C. petiolata are not extensively reported in scientific literature. Safety data for this plant is currently limited, with no major issues recorded. There are also no known drug interactions associated with Curcuma petiolata based on the available information.
