Danger, Will Robinson!!!
Er, what I really mean to say is that the European galingale is a
tuberous plant with knobby roots, named for its vague resembance to the
Indonesian plant rhizome, the galingale that was used as a spice in
period...the European plant that is known as galingale in English is
called, IIRC, souchet in French.
I will locate and provide a more specific reference when I can...
