The CC is at a loss as to how to describe this except that it's called "cobra's saffron" in English (naagkesar, nagkesar, etc. in various Indian languages) (Latin name: Mesua ferrea.)You need this for various recipes. Absolutely critical. Sorry folks, you're on your own on this one. The CC doesn't have any way to help you out (yes, the CC feels bad about this bait-n-switch.)

These look exactly like Cassia (Cinnamon) Buds. Are you sure about that Latin name?
Yes, I'm sure.
The cassia buds are smaller, much smaller.
The length of the stem here is much longer. In fact, you can see why it would look like a cobra, metaphorically speaking.
