- This species name is not found at the Catalogue of Life and I think it may be the same plant that our database has listed as
Siam Tulip (Curcuma 'Laddawan')
The correct cultivar spelling is likely
'Laddawan' as the following companies have it spelled:
Gingerwood Nursery: To paraphrase from their webpage, they state "
We brought it to the US first and it has unfortunately been erroneously labeled as Ladderwan. Wan is a Thai name for many gingers and Ladda is the name of the company that introduced it."

The only sites that I found with the spelling 'Ladderwan' are:
Suncoast Tropicals:

RHS: which shows the name status unresolved.

I wonder if our database entry should correct the spelling to 'Laddawan' and in the sidebar "
Also Sold As Ladderwan"?
