[Saroj Kasaju]

Dear Members,

Location: Phulchoki, Lalitpur, Nepal

Date: 20 November 2023

Altitude: 2000m.

Habitat : Wild 

Zingiber chrysanthum Roscoe?? 

But the Leaf pattern looks slightly different compared to my earlier posts in efi.

And record says its elevation range is below 1450m. and it is quite high for this 

sp. . I have shot earlier at 1400m. range only .

Thank you.

I think it is different from Z. roseaum according to the elevation range and leaves pattern.

Thank you.

It is difficult to come to a conclusion because many species like Z. roseum, Z. rubens, Z. arunachalensis, Z. cernuum, Z. nimmonii, Z. companulatum, Z. cornigerum etc have almost similar type of fruits. Wait for the flowers to come.

Thanking you,

Dear Dr. Sabu, 

I shot some images today but did not find big chunks of rhizome, rather roots only 

with some developing underground shoots.

Thank you.
