Red Ginger- Zingiberaceae Week: I’m sending fresh pics of this Red Ginger (kindly overlook the “Lily”) growing in Chennai.
Is this Vivipary?: What method of reproduction is this?
I got 16 little plantlets from this one stalk with a single flower of the Red Ginger. – This is seen in some grasses, Onion, Lilly etc. – I can use them to show to my students. It is a type of vegetative propagation where the propagules are formed on the inflorescence axis along with flowers. If I am not mistaken each plantlet is arising at the axil of the red bract. Do they form roots too? I have seen it in Chlorophytum. I am not sure if it is true vivipary; vivipary is germination of a seed while still on the mother plant. – This is interesting. As per definations- some plants produce seeds that undergo no dormancy. The growth while the seed and fruit are still on the plant is termed vivipary. Another defination says True vivipary, the – You have got it right. Many plants develop bulbils in place of flowers. Top onion, a pseudodiploid can survive only because of this so called vivipary, and infact it was earlier named as *Allium* *cepa* var. *viviparum.* – To me, this is not vivipary unless this happens all the time in the plant. Which is clearly not the case here. Ginger species for ID – 161012 – RK: Would appreciate ID of this Ginger variety. Was intrigued by the new looks like Alpinia purpurata. Red Ginger It is Alpinia purpurata, popularly known as Red Ginger. Herewith I am attaching one article (Malayalam) and one paper for further reference.
