Elletaria cardamomum
Photographed from Herbal Garden, Hamdard University, Delhi I think this should be Alpinia sp. This is not Elletaria cardamomum. In this case the inflorascense arises from the base. This is most probably Alpinia calcarata? Thanks … Not very well versed with this family I took label on face value. Thanks for correction.
