Mark, I just got news from my Orang Asli collector that there are another 3 different types/species of epiphytic ginger from a certain area. One has white flower like the H longicornutum and the other two with flowers like the H coronarium. Of these two, 1 is white and the other has a yellowish centre. He says the roots are thick like the H longicornutum. He can't get to the area as it is still raining like crazy up till now. I can't find any ref on these. I will post pix when he gets them for me. They are foothill plants and are cool growing.
