Alpinia nutans : ウィキペディア英語版 | Alpinia nutans
''Alpinia nutans'' (Shellflower, Dwarf cardamom) is a Southeast Asian plant of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae), and is a medicinal plant used to control hypertension, as diuretic, antifungal, and antiulcer. In Japan it is used as food preservative. ==Characteristics== Its flowers have a porcelain look, are shell-like 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.
