amit uid 1 2352011<\/a>: This looks like Kaempferia pulchra<\/i> to me. What do u say?<\/p>\n You are correct even I was doubtful of being it as galanga<\/i> or rotundus<\/i> as the nursery men told me. But the images I checked in google shows very variegated leaves this leaves me confused. And one more thing can you provide me the distribution of this species in India.<\/p>\n I am confused K. elegans<\/i> also looks same<\/p>\n Pl follow this link to get more info on this sp. http:\/\/www.pacificbulbsociety.Kaempferia<\/span><\/a> Now K. laotica<\/i> also emerge as similar to both of them.<\/p>\n I dont think your plant is K. laotica<\/i>. Pl go through the attached PDF: Notes on the genus Kaempferia L. (Zingiberaceae) in Thailand<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Thanks .. all doubts clear I will go with K. elegans<\/i> and really thanks for the pdf.<\/p>\n<\/a>

\nThe site mentions a close similarity between K. elegans<\/i> and K. pulchra<\/i>. Quoting them as it is “….Some taxonomists consider this species and Kaempferia pulchra<\/i> to be the same but more research needs to be done regarding this. Although superficially very similar, their flowers are easily distinguishable from each other.”
\nHowever, “The Plant List” treats K. pulchra<\/i> under the synonymy of K. elegans<\/i>.
\nK. elegans<\/i> has been mentioned in the list of Indian Gingers (http:\/\/ <\/span>www.gingersofindia.com<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n
