Freycinetia species so far in efi


It looks to be Frecynetia species. For species confirmation, detailed analysis of flower is needed.


A member of Pandanaceae family, Most probably Freycinetia cumingiana Gaudich. (climbing pandanus)


Kindly examine and identify this plant. Could this be an Alpinia sp….??

Any image of the complete plant?   


No … Unfortunately I did not take the picture of the entire plant.

Looks like a plant from … field of interest and study.

Thank you …, but really not able to place, though it has sheathed leaf.  I have not seen such before. 

could it be Costus curvibracteatus?

Of course the foliage resembles Costus. But it is difficult to arrive at the species as no picture matches with this. The flower is solitary for me, but in C. curvibracteata available in websites it is not so. Hence the doubt.

Could be Freycinetia multiflora

Not sure, looks similar.

I think … is correct. A great effort by … in ID of this plant !.  Looks like Freycinetia cumingiana. Check this link 

We have only Freycinetia cumingiana (Cultivated) in efi site, to which these appear close.

… I agree your ID.
