ALPINIA GALANGA: Attaching an image of Alpinia galanga. In english it is Greater Galangal. The plant is known as Kulanjan in Hindi and Bangla. I saw this plant for the first time at Tezpur in 2002. info regarding Alpinia: can any body upload the photograophs of the plant Alpinia galanga and information about how this plant can be defferentiated from other species of Alpinia viz calcarata, purpurata, zerumbet
I think it is sufficient for you for the identification of the plants from field.
If you want the detailed description then i will send that later.

Attaching a collage of Alpinia galanga (KULANJAN/ GREATER GALANGAL). People at this place called this plant PUNDI. There is a place PUNDIBAR, where an agricultural university is located. Locals tells me that the tender inner part of the plant is eaten. The plant is a favorite of elephants.
