Re: Red flower in groups : 12 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (1) Cultivated? Could be Hedychium rubrum. Thank you very much. Hedychium rubrum is confirmed.
Pl check for Hedychium coccineum (a variety) To me also appear close to images at http://www.flowersofindia.Red%20Ginger%20Lily.html rather than images at Hedychium coccineum
Hedychium deceptum
For me it (photograph sent by …) does not match the photographs of Hedychium deceptum.
Hedychium rubrum A.S.Rao & D.M.Verma is a syn. of Hedychium deceptum N.E.Br., Gard. Chron., ser. 3, 71: 209 (1922).
