Costus speciousus: This ginger plant grows to a height of six to eight feet (roughly two metres), with long leaves
arranged in a sort of spiral. Known as “setawar” in the Malay language, it is used as
a herbal remedy for fever. The leaves are ground into a paste and applied to the forehead to bring
down a high fever.
