agree  Mario Freitas: I think Aji crystal is more like it. Of course, Muriel. I just judged by the appearance, that's all.

  -> Thanks, Mario. It's hard to tell with so many possibilities. As you know, my training in botany has taught me to always include the scientific name, no matter what the circumstances.

agree  Tracy Miyake: +1 on including the scientific name!!! especially with food varieties that have multiple common names
