Wild Flower- Lava-2:
Date: 17th October.2011

I do not think that the leaves in your pic belong to the seed head.
It reminds me of a ginger. Possibly Hedychium gardenerianum. Hope this helps. http://www.onlineplantguide.com/OnlinePlantGuideViewPicture.aspx?id=3807 I had posted similar ones earlier from Munnar and they were identified as fruits of Hedychium flavescens of Zinziberaceae. SYMBIOSIS : 196: Attaching an image of Common Mime (Dissimilis) butterfly on the flowers of Hedychium |
