Zingiber cernuum
This Zingiber cernuum with its arresting red fruiting bodies was photographed far from its hitherto assumed endemic range within the Western Ghats in south India. Little-studied wildernesses such as the Udanti Wildlife Sanctuary in Chhattisgarh need to be protected and studied, or we stand to lose precious flora and fauna even before recording their existence.
