Probably. Looks like ground ginger, smells like ginger mixed with
eucalyptus? That'd probably be the white, or greater (I think the
white kind is the greater) galangale, also known as (I think) laos.
The other is red/lesser/kencur. Or some other recombination of
terms... but medieval Europeans used both kinds and called both
galingale.
