General -
Ginger is a
perennial plant; the aromatic, knotty rootstock is thick, fibrous, and
whitish or buff-colored. It produces a simple, leafy stem covered with
the leaf sheaths of the lanceolate-oblong to linear leaves. The plant
reaches a height of 3-4 feet, the leaves growing 6-12 inches long. It is
now cultivated in great quantities in Jamaica and comes into this
country dried and preserved. The root from the West Indies is considered
the best. Jamaica or White African is a light-brown colour with short
rhizome, very pungent. The essential oil is steam distilled from the
roots.
