About / Traditional Ayurvedic Importance
"Nagkesar" is a trade and classical name used in the market for more than one plant. The pack for this product is honest about this: it states that trade usage of "Lal Nagkesar" most commonly refers to Ochrocarpus longifolius (also published as Mammea suriga) dried flower buds, and notes separately that the botanically distinct, API-official Nagakeshara is the stamens of Mesua ferrea — a different part of a different plant.
Nagkesar-type material is a herb where market substitution is a documented issue, including substitution with Cinnamomum bark or buds. Because of this, Riddhish Herbals does not assert a single confident species for this specific lot beyond what the pack itself declares, and states the trade name plainly rather than presenting an unverified botanical claim as settled fact.
