I suppose, Alpinia shimdadai Hayata, is a special plant of Taiwan. It was named by Yaichi Shimada (1884-1971). It is in the Family of ginger (Zingiberaceae) and actually quite wide spread in the mountain and conutryside of Taiwan. Grace took the photo in Taipei Botanical Garden on Saturday, April 4.
