Dear Bimalji,

 

Could it be Alpinia blepharocalyx K. Schumann? Because this species is distributed in the Bhutan foothill areas of North bengal and Assam. And it can be identified easily by its brown dried bracteoles, which is very prominent in your photos. I have attached my pics on this sp.

 

Regards,

It is Alpinia ovoidocarpa. A. blepharocalyx has  Bracteoles ovate, 2.5-2.7 x 1.8-2 cm, deciduous, red when young turn to brown and brittle on maturity. Whereas the bracteoles of A. ovoidocarpa has pale green bracts that turn to brown when the flower opens.

Thanking you,

Sincerely yours,
