Hope to get it IDed….

On searching, both species posted by me today look like Alpinia vittata.
Had posted them for expert validation.

Kindly validate.

Another possibility is Alpinia luteocarpa, the Red Bamboo Ginger.
Experts please validate.


It is not A. luteocarpa. I have no idea.


I think it may be Alpinia vittata W.Bull, as confirmed by Prabhu Kumar ji in another post at Araceae, Arecaceae and Zingiberaceae Fortnight :: Zingiberaceae (Ginger family) :: Alpinia vittata from Hiranandani Powai, Lakeview :: ARKAUG-39
