\n

is very popular in botanical gardens esp. australia and bermuda etc so far apart geographically yet these place grow the same exotics
\n<\/span>is it native of india or australia ? i\u00a0am never quite sure<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n


\n

… the FOI says it is native to Indonesia…!<\/span><\/p>\n


\n

that makes sense. that’s why all bot gardens that want to show tropical exotic flowers choose it and its family<\/p>\n

It is Zingiber<\/i> sp.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n
May be Etlingera elatior<\/i>? Is it cultivated?<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Many Thanks to …
\nThe flowering season is long over and therefore there were no flowers. Even so, there were many birds in the evening (Indian Pitta, Orange-headed Ground Thrush etc.)
\nThe plant did seem cultivated as it was on a private property.<\/span>
\nHeight of plant: 10 feet, erect but curved<\/span> [Its specific epithet elatior<\/i>\u00a0means tall, which refers to the plant height.]
\nHabitat: Shade ++, on forest floor.<\/span>
\nOnce again, many thanks for the quick replies and identity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
