A more likely candidate for this individual ginger plant: _Hornstedtia scottiana_ .
I will add this taxon and my many sightings to NatureMapr in due course,
along with _Pleuranthodium racemigrum_, _Alpinia modesta_, _Meistera dallachyi_ and _Etlingera australasica_, _Curcuma australasica_, etc. .

@MichaelMulvaney , @MichaelBedingfield, @RWPurdie, @Tapirlord and @karenwilsonau,
please may we have a Plants sub-category for:
Bananas, Gingers, etc giant herbs

Before i go and create species pages for each of these many species and then add my own many sightings and photographs of many of these spp.;
including many ginger spp., some banana _Musa_ spp., some Costa spp.,
garden plants, dumped garden waste adventive plants and weeds: heliconias, cannnas, strelitzias, etc. .
