Thank you very much, Tim.

Do you know a source in Europe for Siphonochilus ?

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.

Hello all,

this came as a rhizome of Siphonochilus aethiopicus, but the leaf  is wrong, from what I see in the photo in the Wiki and on the Inet.

can someone tell me what it might be ? Is it a Kaempferia ?
