Is this a heliconia and if so which one? Found on western slope of the Central Codillera at around 1900M.
It's a Zingiberaceae not Heliconia. Perhaps Lorax or another member can help with local South American species. Guessing Renealmia alpinia ?
Yes I think it is Renealmia alpinia. I found another image of one located in Colombia. Thank you very much.
