The pictured plant is Kaempferia rotunda. There are no patterned foliage Siphochilus. Most Siphonochilus have much wider leaves the S aethiopicus and often have blooming spikes. Both K rotunda and S aethiopicus bloom at ground level but K rotunda blooms before the foliage appears, S aethiopicus later in summer.
