Dear Rawatji,

or A. zerumbet

Thank you Prabhu Kumar Ji for suggesting the alternative ID.

As I remember A.smithiae is a new species reported from South India and mentioned as endemic to the area. I was looking for the paper in which it was described by Dr Sabu and Mangaly in 1991 but could not get it.

If you have the copy of it please send so that I may verify with my specimens.

Alpinia zerumbet usually has pendent spikes and capsules are distinctly ridged which is not the case here.

After repeated confirmation as A. zerumbet by Dr Sabu, the expert of the Family Zingiberaceae in SE Asia, I am taking it as A. zerumbet.

Thank you Dr Sabu for re-examination.
