Hi,

Looks like what I have as Alpinia nutans. Here is a quote from gingersrus.com -- "The foliage of Alpinia nutans is evergreen in areas that do not have a hard freeze. It has a very distinctive "cardamom" fragrance when brushed or rubbed, but this is NOT the plant that produces the spice by that name." Are the leaves on yours fragrant?

The rhizomes look to be way too small for Zingiber zerumbet (shampoo ginger).

Dave

Thank you Dave. I'll read up on Alpinia nutans for further I.D. The leaves certainly have a cardamon scent as do the roots/rhizomes.
