Curcuma alismatifolia, Siam tulip or summer tulip (Thai: ปทุมา, pathuma, or ดอกกระเจียว, dok krajiao) is a tropical plant native to Laos, northern Thailand and Cambodia.[1][2] Despite its name, it is not related to the tulip, but to the various ginger species such as turmeric. It can grow as an indoor plant, and is also sold as cut flowers.

Araceae, Arecaceae and Zingiberaceae Fortnight: Curcuma alismatifolia : 4 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (1).

First I say sorry for my failure for conducting an memorable and useful Zingiberaceae week.
Unfortunately my laptop hard disk have some errors since last month and now I am trying to recover the data. But only 10% data recovered so far.
Anyway  Herewith I am sending some photo of gingers. Please join all the members in this Zingiberaceae week with fruitful uploads.
Before that I should recommend to all the members to visit Calicut University Botanical Garden for understanding and observing the ginger beauty.
A big collection of more than 200 gingers were conserved in three ginger houses as well as field under Dr. M. Sabu, Professor and Zingiberaceae Specialist.
It is the largest ginger collection in India. The best time for garden visit is July-August-September.

Thank you … for showing some very beautiful Zingiberaceae members.
My sincere appreciations for the great collection of this family by Dr Sabu and his team.


Thanks a lot … for sharing this treasure.. I wish maximum recovery of your hard disk data..
I will be very happy if I could someday visit the ginger collection..


Really good collection … Looking forward to see your live collection in some near future.
