Abstract : Costus is the root of Saussurea lappa, ((Decne.)C.B.Clarke.) Asteraceae), an aromatic perennial plant growing in the open slopes of India and Kashmir, its essential oil is used as tonic, stimulant and antiseptic differs from Costus spicatus (Jacq.) S.w., (Costaceae) belong to order Zingiberales. There is a nomenclature confusion between Saussurea lappa and Costus spicatus, due to the uses of the same Arabic name "Costus".
