This picture of a turmeric (Curcuma longa) plant was taken at the USF Botanical Gardens. Turmeric is commonly sold as a yellow-orange spice; the spice is in the form of a powder which is created by boiling the plant's rhizomes, then drying the rhizomes in a hot oven, after which they are ground into a powder.Galleries:Hillsborough, Medicinal Plants, Other Herbaceous Plants, USF Botanical GardensKeywords:USF Botanical Gardens, University of South Florida, curcuma longa, herbaceous perennial plant, medicinal plant, southeast asia, turmeric, zingiberaceaePhoto Location: University of South Florida Botanical Gardens, Tampa FLPhotographer: Dr. Roy WinkelmanDate of Photo: 10/13/2013Device Make: CanonDevice Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark IIExposure Time: 0.025F Number: 22Original Dimensions: 4864×3442Picture Orientation: LandscapeGPS Coordinates: 28°3'28.78"N 82°25'26.16"WPicture Number: 24382
