Common Names: Dwarf Cardamom (Syn.: Amomum compactum).


CHARACTERISTICS

It flowers have a porcelain look, are shell-liked and bloom prolifically on a 30-cm stalk. The flower's single fertile Stamen has a massive Anther . The globose white Stigma of the Pistil extends beyond the tip of the anther. 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.
